O'Donoghue Replaces Grey in SA Electorate | Adelaide News

South Australia’s largest electorate is getting a major makeover — renamed O’Donoghue in honor of Dr. Lowitja O’Donoghue, the trailblazing Aboriginal nurse and key architect of Native Title legislation. The Australian Electoral Commission says her legacy in health, education, and justice justifies the change, replacing the century-old name Grey. While the O’Donoghue family celebrates the tribute, current MP Tom Venning laments the decision, citing constituent opposition and hefty rebranding costs — including thousands spent just to update office materials. This move reflects a national trend toward honoring diverse, impactful Australians — though Venning argues the electorate’s identity was never meant to be erased.
