Electoral district of Bragg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Electoral district of Bragg (South Australia))
Bragg is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. The seat of Bragg is named after the eminent physicists Bragg – William Henry and his son, William Lawrence. The electorate is largely urban and encompasses a significant portion of the City of Burnside, stretching from the east parklands of Adelaide into the Adelaide Hills. After redistribution following the 2006 election, the boundary moved eastwards to include suburbs that had formerly been in the seat of Heysen and now borders Kavel.[1][2] Bragg is the safest metropolitan Liberal Party district, and is within the boundaries of the fairly safe federal Liberal seat of Sturt.
