It has existed twice. It was first created in 1912, and was replaced by Barambah in 1950. It was recreated in 2001, as a replacement for Barambah.

Nanango was the original seat of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen (from 1947 to 1950).

The seat has never been won by the Labor Party in either of its incarnations; indeed, counting its history as Barambah (which covered essentially the same area), it has been in the hands of a conservative party or a conservative independent for over a century.

gollark: If school was optimized for that, you wouldn't spend 5 hours a day not allowed to talk.

gollark: Well, you're:- legally required to be there- may actually be getting food from the same companies as prisons- are forced to move around between lessons arbitrarily when a bell occurs- aren't allowed to interact with friends and whatever much of the day- are forced to obey the staff and do whatever random work is set

gollark: That would be neat, or at least run in-person schools less like prisons.

gollark: > It's hard to compare certainty of one thing with a small risk of anotherThis can be done using "multiplication".

gollark: I mean, school is expensive, computers are... £200 or so for a very basic one?
