 It is the only time that the Nationals have ever won enough seats to govern alone in an election at any level.They had come up one seat short of an outright majority in 1983, but picked up a majority after persuading two Liberals to cross the floor.This was the last time that a non-Labor Government was elected at a Queensland state election until 2012, although the Coalition briefly held government from 1996 to 1998 following the Mundingburra by-election.
