We now have online Graphs & Detailed Results of Victorian Elections 1999, 1996, 1992
The results in the Legislative Assembly are, after a delay of several weeks, now known. The National Party (again) achieved an unfairly high level of representation in the Legislative Assembly, at the expense of the Liberal Party and independents/minor parties. The overall result under PR would have been a parliament where independents/minor parties had the balance of power. Detailed analysis is available here.
The results in the Legislative Assembly were delayed until a supplementary election was conducted in Frankston East. Under the Hare-Clark PR system this month of uncertainty would have been avoided. The voters of Frankston East would have had several candidates from each major party to vote for. The death of a candidate before polling means a vote for that candidate would naturally flow to the next preference of the voter (typically another candidate in the same party). Similarly, the by-election caused by the resignation of Jeff Kennett would have been avoided, saving the taxpayers money and preventing a further period of uncertainty over the makeup of the Legislative Assembly.
