THE POLL BLUDGER ROCKHAMPTON
The electorate of Rockhampton has existed at all times since 1865, except from 1960 to 1972 when it was split into Rockhampton South and Rockhampton North (the latter survived until 1992 when it was succeeded by Keppel). Rockhampton South had a Liberal member from 1960 to 1969, but otherwise the area has been represented exclusively by Labor-identifying members. The member for Rockhampton from 1972 to 1984 was Keith Wright, who was Opposition Leader from 1982 to 1984 and subsequently the federal member for Capricornia until 1993, when he was compelled to resign to fight child sex charges that ultimately led to his imprisonment.
