Tasmanian state election, 1972
- Tasmanian state election, 1972
Distribution of Seats
Aftermath
The instability of Bethune's government after the Liberal-Centre coalition was dissolved hit the Liberals hard, and they lost three seats, giving Labor a clear majority. Eric Reece was sworn in as Premier of Tasmania for a second time on 3 May 1972.
Eric Reece also received the highest personal vote ever in Braddon, gaining 14,790 votes, or 35.4% of the vote.
The United Tasmania Group gained a respectable 3.9% of the vote, failing to gain a seat in the parliament and to stop the damming of Lake Pedder, but their efforts paved the way for the Tasmanian Greens to become a significant force in Tasmanian politics.
