Joe Scalzi

Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOE : Joe Scalzi

Joe Scalzi is a former Australian politician. He was a Liberal Party of Australia member of the South Australian House of Assembly between 1993 and 2006, representing the electorate of Hartley.

Scalzi was a high school teacher before entering parliament. In 1993, he was elected amidst the Liberal landslide victory that year, which saw Dean Brown become Premier. Scalzi very narrowly retained his seat despite an 11.7% swing in 1997. At the 2002 election, Scalzi had to defend the most marginal Liberal seat in the state, but managed to generate a 0.7% swing to him.

Scalzi lost his seat in the 2006 landslide to the ALP. This now gives newly elected member for Hartley, Grace Portolesi, a margin of 4.6%[link]
