South Brisbane is an electoral district of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. The electoarte encompasses suburbs in Brisbane's inner-south, stretching from East Brisbane to West End, and south to Fairfield. Parts of Greenslopes and Coorparoo are also located in the electorate. South Brisbane has generally been considered a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party since 1915. It has only been lost by the party on three occasions: the Country and Progressive National Party's 1929 landslide victory, after the 1957 Labor split, when sitting member and Premier Vince Gair quit the party to form the Queensland Labor Party and finally in 1974, at the height of the Bjelke-Petersen government's popularity. The current member, Anna Bligh, has held the seat since 1995, and has been Premier of Queensland since 2007. South Brisbane is the strongest seat in Queensland for the Australian Greens third party, who have traditionally polled well there. The party's candidate, Gary Kane, polled 21.5% of the vote at the 2006 election, up from the 20% polled by Juanita Wheeler in 2004. [edit] Members for South Brisbane
