2001 Queensland state election
Peter Beattie Labor Peter Beattie Labor The 2001 Queensland state election was held on 17 February 2001 to elect the 89 members of the state's Legislative Assembly.The result of the election was the return of the Labor Party (ALP) government of Premier Peter Beattie, with an increased majority in a landslide.The 'Just Vote 1' strategy adopted by the Labor campaign (capitalising on Queensland's optional preferential voting system) was also considered to be effective in reducing preference flows between the Coalition parties, thereby dampening the combined strength of the conservative parties.The electorates of Archerfield, Barambah, Caboolture, Chermside, Crows Nest, Kedron, Merrimac, Mooloolah, Nerang, Sunnybank, Warwick, Western Downs, and Yeronga were abolished.The redistribution merged Chermside with Kedron to create the notionally Labor-held Stafford north of Brisbane, and Crows Nest with Western Downs to create the notionally National-held Darling Downs in regional Queensland.
