Stonehouse is a constituency, or division, of the Georgeland House of Commons. It is located around the town of the same name in rural East Mainland, in the state's south. The seat is named for Mark Stonehouse, a political activist in the 1930s. The seat has existed since 1942.
Stonehouse is a 'key marginal', and is somewhat of a 'battleground' seat, one of the 'fruit belt' seats that depend on primary producers as their economic base. The seat is currently held by Conservative Fred Osbourne.
