Queensland state election, 1989
- Queensland state election, 1989
Elections were held in the Australian state of Queensland on 2 December, 1989 to elect the 89 members of the state's Legislative Assembly. This was the first election without seven-time premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
The result of the election was a large majority for Australian Labor Party, which formed a majority government. This was a watershed election, the first in many decades that the ALP had won. The ALP won more than 50% of the primary vote.
Initially, it appeared that the Liberal Party had won the seat of Nicklin, however, the Court of Disputed Returns overturned that result and awarded the seat to the National Party.
In early 1990, the former Premier and leader of the National Party, Mike Ahern, resigned his seat of Landsborough, and the Liberal Party candidate, Joan Sheldon, won the subsequent by-election.Angus Innes, the former leader of the Liberal Party, also resigned his seat of Sherwood, and the Liberal Party won the subsequent by-election which was held on the same day as the Landsborough by-election. Joan Sheldon led the Liberal Party to the 1992 election.
