Electoral district of Whyalla
Former South Australian state electoral district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whyalla was an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia from 1956 to 1993.[1] The district was based on the town of Whyalla. It was held by the Labor Party for its entire existence, and was one of the few areas outside Adelaide where Labor consistently did well. Indeed, for most of its existence, it was one of Labor's safest non-metropolitan seats, giving Labor candidates margins rivaling those in Adelaide-area seats.
