ALP 5.2%
Incumbent MP
Jayne Stinson, since 2018.
Geography
Inner south-western Adelaide. Badcoe covers Ashford, Glandore, Clarence Park, Kurralta Park, North Plympton, Edwardstown, Ascot Park and part of Plympton.
Redistribution
Badcoe shifted to the north-west, losing Clarence Gardens, Clarence Park and parts of Edwardstown to Elder, and gaining Plympton Park and the remainder of Plympton from Morphett, and also gaining Marleston and Netley from West Torrens. These changes slightly reduced the Labor margin from 5.5% to 5.2%.
History
Badcoe was created in 2018 primarily as a successor to Ashford. The seat of Ashford had existed since 1997, and was a successor to the electorate of Hanson, which existed from 1970 to 1997.
Heini Becker won the seat of Hanson for the Liberal Party in 1970. Becker left Hanson in 1993 following a redistribution that made the seat more favourable to the ALP. Becker won the seat of Peake off the ALP, and retired in 1997.
Despite the redistribution, the Liberal Party’s Stewart Leggett won Hanson in 1993.
In 1997, Hanson was renamed Ashford. Leggett was challenged by the ALP’s Steph Key, who won with 55.6% of the two-party vote. Key held the seat for the next 21 years, retiring in 2018.
Labor’s Jayne Stinson won the renamed seat of Badcoe in 2018.
