The Division of Hindmarsh is an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia covering the western suburbs of Adelaide. The division was one of the seven established when the former Division of South Australia was split on 2 October 1903,and was first contested at the 1903 election,though on vastly different boundaries. The Division is named after Sir John Hindmarsh,who was Governor of South Australia from 1836 to 1838. The 78 km²seat extends from the coast in the west to South Road in the east,covering the suburbs of Ascot Park,Brooklyn Park,Edwardstown,Fulham,Glenelg,Grange,Henley Beach,Kidman Park,Kurralta Park,Morphettville,Plympton,Richmond,Semaphore Park,Torrensville,West Beach and West Lakes. The Adelaide International Airport is centrally located in the electorate,making noise pollution a prominent local issue,besides the aged care needs of the relatively elderly population −the seat has one of Australia's highest proportions of citizens over the age of 65. Progressive boundary redistributions over many decades transformed Hindmarsh from a safe Labor seat in to a marginal seat often won by the government of the day.

The Progress Party,initially known as the Workers Party,was a minor political party in Australia in the mid-to-late 1970s. It was formed on 26 January 1975,as a free-market right-libertarian and anti-socialist party,by businessmen John Singleton and Sinclair Hill,in reaction to the economic policies of Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam. It operated and ran candidates in Western Australia,the Northern Territory,South Australia,Queensland and New South Wales,but it did not have a central federal structure.
