'''Kavel''', created in 1969 and coming into effect in 1970, is an electorate for the [[South Australian Legislative Assembly]] in the [[Adelaide Hills]] region of [[South Australia]]. The main population centres of the electorate include [[Balhannah, South Australia|Balhannah]], [[Gumeracha, South Australia|Gumeracha]], [[Lobethal, South Australia|Lobethal]], [[Mount Barker, South Australia|Mount Barker]] and [[Nairne, South Australia|Nairne]]. Amongst others, previously abolished seats include [[Electoral district of Gumeracha|Gumeracha]] and [[Electoral district of Mount Barker|Mount Barker]].


'''Kavel''', created in 1969 and coming into effect in 1970, is a single-member [[Electoral districts of South Australia|electoral district]] for the [[South Australian House of Assembly]]. Located to the east of [[Adelaide]], Kavel is based on the town of [[Mount Barker, South Australia|Mount Barker]] and includes much of the eastern portion of the [[Adelaide Hills]].
Kavel is named after [[Lutheran]] pastor [[August Kavel]] who migrated to South Australia from [[Germany]] in 1838 (two years after the colony was founded) with approximately 250 people seeking freedom from religious persecution. They and later German immigrants and their descendants have made a significant contribution to South Australia's development and culture.


Kavel incorporates the residential Hills suburbs and the farming areas of [[Balhannah, South Australia|Balhannah]], [[Blakiston, South Australia|Blakiston]], [[Brukunga, South Australia|Brukunga]], [[Bugle Ranges, South Australia|Bugle Ranges]], [[Charleston, South Australia|Charleston]], [[Dawesley, South Australia|Dawesley]], [[Forest Range, South Australia|Forest Range]], [[Hay Valley, South Australia|Hay Valley]], [[Lenswood, South Australia|Lenswood]], [[Littlehampton, South Australia|Littlehampton]], [[Lobethal, South Australia|Lobethal]], [[Mount Barker, South Australia|Mount Barker]], [[Mount Barker Junction, South Australia|Mount Barker Junction]], [[Mount Barker Springs, South Australia|Mount Barker Springs]], [[Mount Barker Summit, South Australia|Mount Barker Summit]], [[Nairne, South Australia|Nairne]], [[Oakbank, South Australia|Oakbank]], [[Totness, South Australia|Totness]], [[Wistow, South Australia|Wistow]] and [[Woodside, South Australia|Woodside]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ecsa.sa.gov.au/electoral-districts/electoral-district-profiles/kavel |title=Kavel |work=2022-2026 electoral district map |publisher=[[Electoral Commission of South Australia]] |date=2022 |access-date=18 August 2022}}</ref> Amongst others, previously abolished seats include [[Electoral district of Gumeracha|Gumeracha]] and [[Electoral district of Mount Barker|Mount Barker]].
A comfortably safe seat for the [[Liberal Party of Australia]] (and its predecessor, the [[Liberal and Country League]]) for its entire existence, it has been held by only three members. The first member, [[Roger Goldsworthy]], served as [[Deputy Premier of South Australia]] from 1979 to 1982 under [[David Tonkin]]. Goldsworthy retired in 1992 to allow former state Liberal leader [[John Olsen]] to return to politics. Olsen went on to become [[Premier of South Australia]] after a 1997 party-room coup against Premier [[Dean Brown]]. He was forced to retire from politics after being caught [[to mislead parliament|misleading the legislature]], and was succeeded by [[Mark Goldsworthy]], son of Roger.


Kavel is named after [[Lutheran]] pastor [[August Kavel]] who migrated with approximately 250 people to South Australia from Germany in 1838, two years after the [[British colonisation of South Australia|colony of South Australia]] was founded, seeking freedom from religious persecution. They, and later German immigrants and their descendants, have made a significant contribution to South Australia's development and culture.
The strong [[Family First Party]] vote of 15.7 percent at the [[South Australian legislative election, 2006|2006 election]] (the highest in the state) was due in part to their prominent local candidate, church minister Tom Playford, son of former Premier [[Thomas Playford IV|Sir Thomas Playford]] who represented Gumeracha decades earlier. Playford ran as an independent in the [[South Australian state election, 2002|2002 election]], finishing on a primary vote of 19.4 percent. Kavel is the strongest rural seat for the [[SA Greens]] on a 15.6 percent primary vote at the [[South Australian state election, 2014|2014 election]].

Kavel has been held by the [[Liberal Party of Australia (South Australian Division)|Liberal Party]] and its predecessor, the [[Liberal and Country League]], for most of its existence. Like most seats in the Adelaide Hills, it has usually been reasonably safe for that party, and has been held by only four members. The first member, [[Roger Goldsworthy (politician)|Roger Goldsworthy]], served as [[Deputy Premier of South Australia]] from 1979 to 1982 under [[David Tonkin]]. Goldsworthy retired in 1992 to allow former state Liberal leader [[John Olsen]] to transfer from the [[Australian Senate]] back to state politics. Olsen went on to become [[Premier of South Australia]] after a 1996 party-room coup against Premier [[Dean Brown]].

Olsen was forced to retire from politics after being caught [[to mislead parliament|misleading the House]], and was succeeded by [[Mark Goldsworthy]], son of Roger. Mark held the seat until handing it to current member [[Dan Cregan]] in 2018. Cregan was elected as a Liberal member, but resigned from the party in October 2021 to sit as an [[independent politician|independent]]. At the [[2022 South Australian state election|2022 election]], he was re-elected as an independent in a landslide. Cregan's [[two-party-preferred vote|two-candidate-preferred]] vote of 75.4 percent was the highest of any candidate, making Kavel the safest seat in the State.

The strong [[Family First Party]] vote of 15.7 percent at the [[2006 South Australian legislative election|2006 election]], the highest in the state, was due in part to their prominent local candidate, church minister Thomas "Tom" Playford V, son of former Premier [[Thomas Playford IV|Sir Thomas Playford]], who had represented [[Electoral district of Gumeracha|Gumeracha]] decades earlier. Tom Playford V had run as an independent in the [[2002 South Australian state election|2002 election]], achieving a primary vote of 19.4 percent.

Kavel, created in 1969 and coming into effect in 1970, is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly. Located to the east of Adelaide, Kavel is based on the town of Mount Barker and includes much of the eastern portion of the Adelaide Hills.

Kavel incorporates the residential Hills suburbs and the farming areas of Balhannah, Blakiston, Brukunga, Bugle Ranges, Charleston, Dawesley, Forest Range, Hay Valley, Lenswood, Littlehampton, Lobethal, Mount Barker, Mount Barker Junction, Mount Barker Springs, Mount Barker Summit, Nairne, Oakbank, Totness, Wistow and Woodside.[2] Amongst others, previously abolished seats include Gumeracha and Mount Barker.

Kavel is named after Lutheran pastor August Kavel who migrated with approximately 250 people to South Australia from Germany in 1838, two years after the colony of South Australia was founded, seeking freedom from religious persecution. They, and later German immigrants and their descendants, have made a significant contribution to South Australia's development and culture.

Kavel has been held by the Liberal Party and its predecessor, the Liberal and Country League, for most of its existence. Like most seats in the Adelaide Hills, it has usually been reasonably safe for that party, and has been held by only four members. The first member, Roger Goldsworthy, served as Deputy Premier of South Australia from 1979 to 1982 under David Tonkin. Goldsworthy retired in 1992 to allow former state Liberal leader John Olsen to transfer from the Australian Senate back to state politics. Olsen went on to become Premier of South Australia after a 1996 party-room coup against Premier Dean Brown.

Olsen was forced to retire from politics after being caught misleading the House, and was succeeded by Mark Goldsworthy, son of Roger. Mark held the seat until handing it to current member Dan Cregan in 2018. Cregan was elected as a Liberal member, but resigned from the party in October 2021 to sit as an independent. At the 2022 election, he was re-elected as an independent in a landslide. Cregan's two-candidate-preferred vote of 75.4 percent was the highest of any candidate, making Kavel the safest seat in the State.

The strong Family First Party vote of 15.7 percent at the 2006 election, the highest in the state, was due in part to their prominent local candidate, church minister Thomas "Tom" Playford V, son of former Premier Sir Thomas Playford, who had represented Gumeracha decades earlier.
