1982 Tasmanian state election
Results of the election
The 1982 Tasmanian state election was held on 15 May 1982 in the Australian state of Tasmania to elect 35 members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly . The election used the Hare-Clark proportional representation system[1]
The incumbent Labor Party , in power since 1972 and led by Premier Harry Holgate , was defeated in a landslide by the opposition Liberal Party , led by Robin Gray .
The proposed Franklin Dam was a major issue around the time of the election.
The Australian Democrats contested all electorates. Independent Green candidates contested the electorate of Denison only.
Results
[ edit ]
The Liberal Party won a comfortable majority. Not only was this only the second time in 48 years that Labor had been out of office in Tasmania, but it was the first time in 51 years that the main non-Labor party in Tasmania had won an outright majority at an election. The Democrats' Norm Sanders retained his seat, which had originally been won at the Denison state by-election in 1980. Former Labor premier Doug Lowe also retained his seat as an independent.
