Formed by the redistribution that preceded the 1996 election, Southern River had a narrow Labor majority going into its first election. Contested by sitting Kenwick Labor MP Judy Edwards, she was defeated by the Liberal Party's Monica Holmes. The result was reversed in 2001, as a 4.9% swing to Labor saw Holmes defeated by Labor's Paul Andrews. The most recent redistribution has substantially improved Labor's position.
