Geography
Regional South Australia. Schubert covers parts of the Barossa Valley to the north-east of Adelaide. Schubert covers the towns of Nuriootpa, Angaston, Tanunda, Gumeracha, Birdwood and Mount Torrens.
Redistribution
Schubert expanded north and south while shedding the western end of the seat. Freeling, Wasleys, Roseworthy and Redbanks have been transferred to Frome, while Gawler belt was moved into Light. Schubert gained Truro from Stuart, Bibaringa from King and a small part of Hammond. Inglewood, Kersbrook and Forreston were transferred from Newland, while Mount Torrens, Birdwood and Gumeracha were transferred from Morialta. These changes increased the Liberal margin from 14.3% to 14.9%.
History
The electorate of Schubert has existed since 1997, when it replaced the seat of Custance.
The electorate of Custance had been first created for the 1985 election, when it was won by Liberal leader John Olsen, who had been in Parliament since 1979.
Olsen was re-elected in 1989, when he led the Liberal Party to another election defeat. In 1990, he resigned from Parliament to fill a Liberal Party vacancy in the Australian Senate.
Liberal candidate Ivan Venning won the 1990 Custance by-election. Venning was re-elected in Custance in 1993, and won Schubert four times between 1997 and 2010.
Venning retired in 2014, and Liberal candidate Stephan Knoll was elected. Knoll was re-elected in 2018.
