Electoral district of Clayfield
- Electoral district of Clayfield
Clayfield is an electoral district of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. It is centred around the inner northern suburb of Clayfield in the state capital of Brisbane.
The seat was first created in 1950, and consistently returned members for the conservative Liberal Party until its abolition in 1977. It was recreated in 1992 as part of the electoral reforms that ended Bjelke-Petersen-era malapportionment, and was easily won by Liberal candidate Santo Santoro, later a Borbidge government minister. Santoro was re-elected in 1996 and 1998, but was defeated in a shock result in 2001 by actress and Labor candidate Liddy Clark. Clark held on to the normally safe Liberal seat for two terms, but after a controversy-scarred term as a minister, was defeated by Liberal candidate Tim Nicholls in 2006. Nicholls has been the deputy leader of the state Liberal Party since November 2007.
