As Heysen combines both wealthier suburbs in the foothills of the Adelaide Hills and rural areas further east, it has been a conservative stronghold ever since its creation in the electoral redistribution of 1969. It was abolished in 1977, forcing then-member David Wotton to move to another seat for the next decade, but was re-established in 1985. He subsequently held the seat until his retirement in 2002, when he was replaced by Liberal Isobel Redmond. While the Australian Democrats have been able to pose some threat to the conservative parties in Heysen in the past, and were able to outpoll the Australian Labor Party in the seat as recently as the 2002 election, their recent collapse in the polls will likely see Heysen remain a safe Liberal seat for the foreseeable future. The Adelaide Hills is part of the Mount Lofty Ranges, east of the city of Adelaide in the state of South Australia. ... 1969 (MCMLXIX) was a common year starting on Wednesday For other uses, see Number 1969. ...
