QUEENSLAND ==================================================================== LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ==================================================================== THE THIRTY-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT ELECTED 1 JUNE 1963 ==================================================================== The Thirty-Seventh Parliament was opened on 20 August 1963 and dissolved on 19 April 1966. Sources -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Voting figures are from "Details of Polling at General Election", Ordered by the Legislative Assembly to be printed, 19 November 1963. This report includes enrolment figures and lists of polling places. * Full names of candidates are from the "Queensland Government Gazette," 29 June 1963. Party affiliations are from Hughes and Graham. Summary -------------------------------------------------------------------- Frank Nicklin's Coalition government cruised to an easy victory at this election, losing only one seat to Labor while gaining one from the QLP. The Coalition's vote share of 44.1% was hardly changed from 1960. Labor's vote share recovered to 44%, but as in 1960 this mostly came from the QLP, which continued to decline, returning only one member. The government's prospects were further improved by the introduction of full and compulsory preferential voting. This meant that, on average, 80% of QLP votes were passed (either actually or notionally) to Liberal or Country Party candidates as preferences, rather than being eliminated as they had been under first-past-the- post voting. Thus the Liberals retained Bowen and Toowoomba East, which they would have lost under the previous system. STATE SUMMARY OF VOTES AND SEATS ==================================================================== Enrolled voters: 839,323 Total votes counted: 783,034 93.3 Informal votes: 12,036 01.5 Formal votes 770,998 98.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Party Votes % Seats -------------------------------------------------------------------- Country Party 156,621 20.3 +00.8 27 Labor Party 339,017 44.0 +04.8 26 +01 Liberal Party 183,185 23.8 -00.2 20 North Queenland Labor 8,229 01.1 00.0 1 Queenland Labor Party 54,622 07.1 -05.7 1 -03 Others 29,324 03.8 3 +02 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 770,998 78 -------------------------------------------------------------------- * One Labor member was elected unopposed. * Labor won Tablelands from the Country Party. * The Country Party won Carnarvon from the QLP. * The former QLP members for Bundaberg and Cook, and the former Country Party member for Fassifern, were elected as independents. * The formerly independent member for Redcliffe was elected for the Country Party VOTING BY CONSTITUENCY ==================================================================== The introduction of preferential voting makes it necessary to calculate a notional two-party majority in seats where there were more than two candidates but where preferences were not distributed. I have allocated QLP preferences 80% to Liberal and Country Party candidates, Communist preferences 90% to Labor, and all other candidates' preferences 50-50%. Estimated majorities are indicated with the letter e.
