ALP 12.8%
Incumbent MP
Michael Brown, since 2022. Previously member for Playford 2018-2022.
Geography
North-eastern Adelaide. Florey lies entirely within the Salisbury council area, covering Ingle Farm, Mawson Lakes, Parafield, Para Hills, Para Hills West, Para Vista and Pooraka.
History
Florey has existed since 1970, and has been held by the ALP at all but one election.
Charles Wells held the seat for the Labor Party from 1970 to 1979, followed by Harold O’Neill from 1979 to 1982.
Bob Gregory won the seat in 1982, and held the seat until his loss in 1993.
The Liberal Party’s Sam Bass won the seat in a shock result in 1993. He held the seat for one term, and in 1997 lost to Frances Bedford.
Bedford has been re-elected four times.
A redistribution following the 2014 election moved a majority of voters in Playford into Florey, and Bedford was thus challenged for Labor preselection by Playford MP Jack Snelling, who won. Bedford resigned from the ALP following this preselection defeat to sit as an independent. Snelling subsequently decided to retire. Bedford was re-elected to the redrawn Florey as an independent in 2018.
Another redistribution prior to the 2022 election pushed Bedford to run (unsuccessfully) for the neighbouring seat of Newland, while first-term Labor MP Michael Brown switched from Playford and won Florey.
