Electoral district of Barambah
26°17′S 151°57′E / 26.283°S 151.950°E / -26.283; 151.950
Barambah was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1950 to 2001.[1]
The district was based in the South Burnett region. It was the seat of long-serving Premier, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
Barambah was created in 1950, essentially as a reconfiguring of the old seat of Nanango. Fittingly, when Barambah was abolished in 2001, it was replaced by a recreated Nanango.[citation needed]
The seat was safely conservative for its entire existence. However, it fell to the Citizens Electoral Council at the 1988 by-election called after Bjelke-Petersen was forced out of politics–the only seat ever won by that party at the state or federal level in Australia. The winner of that by-election, Trevor Perrett, joined the National Party later in 1988. He held the seat until 1998, when Dorothy Pratt won it as part of One Nation's breakthrough in Queensland. Pratt herself left the party in 1999, and transferred to Nanango after Barambah was abolished in 2001.[citation needed]
