It contains details of voting for all Assembly districts and Council provinces. Primary and two-party preferred counts are given for all electorates. The following paragraphs explain the format for the results. The results for all electorates at the 1988 election have been adjusted to fit the new electoral boundaries. All swings are calculated based on these adjusted figures. First Count: The votes shown for each candidate are the total primary votes received. Percentage votes are calculated as a percentage of the formal vote for each electorate. Swing is calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by a party at the 1988 election from the percentage received in 1992. Where the parties contesting the district differ from 1988, ghost candidates indicated by "...." have been included representing candidates not contesting the 1992 election. As a result, all primary swings add to zero, subject to rounding errors. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution of preferences in an electorate. All votes which did not indicate a preference to the two remaining candidate are included in the total listed as Exhausted. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote by the votes remaining in the count, that is the formal votes minus the total exhausted votes. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the 1988 election. Note that in the detailed results, all swing figures are compared to the 1988 election. By-elections have been ignored. All figures are based on information provided by the Victorian State Electoral Office. However, responsibility for all calculations and omissions is taken by the author.

  • The Hon. EH WALKER
    Parliament of Victoria - Inaugural Speech for Walker, Evan H. Hansard Volume: 344 Page: 2134 - Date: 18 July 1979 The Hon. E. H. WALKER (Melbourne Province) - -Mr President, I begin by offering you my congratulations on your election to the presidency of the Legislative Council. I am sure you will maintain the traditions of fairness and impartiality so ably exhibited by your predecessor. I point out that I believe history will offer you an unexpected and special niche. I predict that you will be the last member of the party to which you belong to hold that position. That comment is not meant in any way to reflect on your capacity or character - I merely refer to the likelihood that you will be replaced by a member from the Opposition side of the Chamber and that there will be the subsequent establishment of a unicameral system of government in this State. I support the Labor Party in its belief that a two-House Parliament is unnecessary for Victoria. Meanwhile, I wish you well and congratulate you on your elevation to the highest office the House can bestow. I draw attention to the changed nature of the Labor Party's representation in the Legislative Council as from today. I am proud to be a member of a team that, for the first time, includes a woman. The representation of women in this House has long been overdue and it is still nominal. I look forward to the day when there is a reasonable representation of women in this Chamber. I also draw attention to the representation of the largest ethnic minority in our community, the Italian community.
