History

[edit]

In 1894, single-member electorates were introduced statewide and the two-member electorate ofEden was split into Bega andEden–Bombala. In 1904 Eden-Bombala was abolished as a result of the1903 New South Wales referendum which reduced the number of members of the Legislative Assembly from 125 to 90 and part of the district was absorbed by Bega.^[5] In 1920, with the introduction ofproportional representation, it was absorbed intoGoulburn, along withMonaro. It was recreated in 1988.

Bega has historically tended to be a safe conservative seat, although demographic change has led to the seat becoming increasingly marginal for theLiberal Party for much of the early part of the 21st century. The Liberal margin blew out in their2011 landslide, along with many other Liberal-held country seats. Despite the Liberals suffering a 10-point swing against them in2015, they retained it and did so again in2019.

Following the decision of the incumbent memberAndrew Constance to resign in order to run inGilmore at the2022 Federal Election, aby-election was held in 2022 which sawLabor's Michael Holland win the seat with a substantial 14-point swing. This was the first time Labor had won Bega. Holland consolidated his hold on the seat at the2023 state election, turning Bega into a safe Labor seat in one stroke.
