Graph shows a line ball electorate since its inception (or, strictly speaking, re-establishment after nine years of non-existence) in 1993, when it went from notional Liberal status to Labor's Bob Horne. In tussle of the Bobs, Baldwin won it in '96, Horne took it in '98; Baldwin regained in 2001.

The appearance of a 1998 Liberal win on the graph indicates its redistribution to notional Liberal status in 1999.
