Tasmanian state election, 1969
- Tasmanian state election, 1969
Distribution of Seats
Aftermath
The election resulted in a hung parliament, with the Labor and Liberal parties on 17 seats each (out of 35). The balance of power was held by Kevin Lyons, a former Liberal who had quit the party in 1966 after a dispute over preselection. Lyons offered to form a coalition government with the Liberal Party, and Angus Bethune agreed, appointing Lyons as Deputy Premier.
The Liberal-Centre coalition lasted for one term, with Lyons dissolving the partnership in 1972. The resulting instablity triggered an election, which was easily won by Eric Reece and the Labor Party.
