Electoral district of Lee
- Electoral district of Lee
Lee is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. Named after the women's suffrage campaigner Mary Lee, it is a 17.6km² urban electorate on Adelaide's north-western beaches, taking in the suburbs of Birkenhead, Ethelton, Exeter, Glanville, Sempahore, Sempahore Park, Semaphore South, Tennyson, West Lakes, West Lakes Shore, as well as parts of Largs Bay, Peterhead and Seaton.
Lee was created in the 1991 electoral distribution as a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party, replacing the abolished Albert Park. It was first contested at the 1993 state election, where it was won by Liberal candidate Joe Rossi as part of a large swing throughout the state. However, as most marginal seat, he was swept away in 1997, with Michael Wright reclaiming the seat for Labor. Wright retained the seat in 2002, and was promoted to a ministerial position.
