Electoral map of Nanango 2008

Nanango is an electoral division in the state of Queensland, Australia. Notable towns include Nanango, Kingaroy and Crows Nest. ^[1] It is currently held by the Attorney-General of Queensland, Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity, and former Opposition Leader, Deb Frecklington of the Liberal National Party. ^[2]

History

The electoral district has existed twice. It was first created in 1912, and was replaced by Barambah in 1950. It was recreated in 2001, as a replacement for Barambah.

Nanango was the original seat of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen (from 1947 to 1950). ^[3]

The seat has never been won by the Labor Party in either of its incarnations; indeed, counting its history as Barambah (which covered essentially the same area), it has been in the hands of a conservative party or a conservative independent for over a century.
