replies: text: I've checked sources, and you're basically right. The result at the 1985 election was particularly close, and there was a tied vote in Nunawading Province. It was initially considered won by the ALP, but the Court of Disputed Returns declared the outcome void, and the Liberals won the resulting by-election either one or three months later (conflicting sources). If that is counted, then 2002 was the second time Labor has gained control of the Legislative Council. Ambi 06:17, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: “Napthine and Baillieu eventually became Premiers and it meant that Doyle along with Alan Brown have been the only Liberal leaders to have never won an election.” 
That is incorrect as it did not take into account, due to when it was written, non-elected Liberal Premiers Lindsay Thompson and Naphthine who were both voted out without being elected in their own right. This plus the fact that Brown neither won or lost an election as Liberal leader. 
The statement was about Liberal leaders who did not become Premiers and this club recently got a new member in Matthew Guy. 122.106.83.10 (talk) 00:55, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
