Electoral district of Campbell

Campbell is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Flinders Prefecture, first contested at the 1990 federal election. It is named after colonial premiers Andrew Campbell (1829–1840) and James Spencer Campbell (1889–1891, 1892–1895), who were grandfather and grandson respectively. The district covers most of rural southern Flinders, completely surrounding the Flinders City metropolitan area. Its main population centre is the regional city of Springston, which is home to approximately half of its population.

The sitting member, since the 2002 federal election, is John Taggart, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.

History
Campbell was proclaimed at the 1990 redistribution, in which Flinders' regional electorates underwent a major reconfiguration. Campbell largely replaced Kingfisher, but also took in large parts of what was formerly Fairfax, pushing that seat to the north in the process.

Like its predecessor, Campbell is a safe seat for the conservative side of politics. The Social Democratic Party narrowly won Kingfisher at the 1970 landslide, and lost it in 1974, marking the last time that southern Flinders has been represented by a non-conservative member. The Enderron National Party won Campbell amidst the United Party's near-total collapse in the 1994 election. The seat returned to form at the following election, and has continued to do so ever since.
