Tasmanian state election, 1992
- Tasmanian state election, 1992
Voting by division
Aftermath
The result saw a swing against the Labor Party and the Greens in the direction of the Liberal Party. The 7% swing in favour of the Liberals; assured that Ray Groom would have a secure majority in the next state parliament.
Although the Greens suffered a 3.9% swing against them, their primary vote of 13.2% statewide was above the required quota for election, and it was only in Bass and Braddon that they depended on a large flow of preferences to hold their seats.
The Labor Party polled poorly with a net loss of two members. The party lost four members; Michael Weldon in Braddon, former Premier Harry Holgate and Jim Cox in Bass, David Crean in Denison. The party gained two members; James Gill in Bass and Julian Amos in Denison. The fall in the Labor vote could be attributed to the instability of the Labor-Green accord, but also because of government spending cuts.
Minor parties and Independents collectively had an increase in votes, but were far from reaching the required quota for election.
