History
Karlene Maywald has been the MP for Chaffey since 1997 and The National SA's parliamentary leader. She was re-elected at the 2002 and 2006 state elections announcing that she would support whichever party won government, which happened to be a landslide to the Australian Labor Party. Maywald became a minister in the Rann government during the last term of government and has a signed agreement with Mike Rann and the Australian Labor Party for reserving the right to not vote with the government, whilst at the same time becoming the Minister for the River Murray amongst other portfolios to the benefit of her constituency. Three other candidates were fielded in the lower house in Flinders, Finniss, and MacKillop, with less success in each. Two upper house candidates were fielded but only 0.7% of the vote was received.
