Victorian general election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victorian general election, 2002

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Legislative elections for the Victorian Legislative Assembly and for half the seats in the Victorian Legislative Council were held on Saturday 30 November 2002. The incumbent Labor Government of Premier Steve Bracks was returned with a large majority in the Legislative Assembly winning 62 of the 88 seats. Labor also won a majority of seats in the Legislative Council for the first time in its history.

The main opposition party, the Liberals led by Robert Doyle were reduced to just 17 seats, their worst result since 1952. While the Peter Ryan led Nationals (who after breaking off their Coalition with the Liberals renamed themselves the 'VicNats') retained the 7 seats they held from the 1999 election.

Labor was assisted by a strong economy and by the popularity of Steve Bracks, while the Liberal Party was badly divided between the Kroger and the Kennett factions. The Liberal campaign was also devastated by the revelation that the Shadow Treasurer Robert Dean was ineligible to vote and therefore was not able to stand as a candidate.

This was the last Victorian election where the Legislative Council was elected using Instant Runoff Voting in single-member districts (while each province has two members, they were elected at alternate elections). From 2006 onwards the Legislative Council will be elected from 8 multi-member electorates using proportional representation, with all seats in the Council being up for election.
