History

Rockingham South covers a band of working class suburbs in Rockingham's south. It is a very safe electorate for the Social Democratic Party; the party has held the seat continuously since its creation other than from 1999 to 2002, when it was held by independent member Alan Lasseter.

The electorate has a very high population of Enderronians of Mediterranean descent, particularly Greeks, Italians and Maltese.
