Everything about The Division Of Grey totally explained

The Division of Grey is an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia.
   The division was created in 1903 and is named for Sir George Grey, who was Governor of South Australia 1841-45 (and later Prime Minister of New Zealand).
   The division covers the rural mid-north and north of South Australia, spanning 92% of the state (approx. 904,881 square kilometres). The borders of the electorate include the Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales borders, in addition to much of the southern coastal border. The electorate spans to Marion Bay and Eudunda in the south. The main population centres of the electorate include Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Roxby Downs, Coober Pedy, Port Pirie, Kadina, Maitland, Orroroo, Peterborough, Burra and Eudunda.
   Grey was held by the Australian Labor Party for much of its history, but redistributions (such as the latest inclusion of Yorke Peninsula) and the decline of the Labor vote in the mining and pastoral areas, due to the closure of many mining operations, has made it today a fairly safe seat for the Liberal Party.
