Sharp was member for Gilmore 1984-93. 2. Hume elected a Liberal member in 1990, when it was not contested by the NPA. But since on the new boundaries (which added voters from the old seats of Gilmore and Parkes) the NPA would have outvoted the Liberals, it was regarded as an NPA seat. 3. Since the NPA did not contest Hume in 1990, it is impossible to calculate the changes in NPA and Liberal voting strengths between 1990 and 1993. The combined Liberal and NPA vote (52.8%) was an increase of 4.8% over the Liberal vote in 1990. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd count: Buchanan's 1,824 votes distributed -------------------------------------------------------------------- Cox 864 47.4 2,892 04.1 Archer 562 30.9 30,335 42.6 Ward 140 07.7 13,821 19.4 Sharp * 256 14.1 24,198 34.0 (exhausted 2 2 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,824 71,248 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd count: Cox's 2,892 votes distributed -------------------------------------------------------------------- Archer 1,605 55.9 31,940 44.9 Ward 392 13.7 14,213 20.0 Sharp * 872 30.4 25,070 35.2 (exhausted 23 25 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 2,892 71,248 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th count: Ward's 14,213 votes distributed -------------------------------------------------------------------- Archer 1,035 07.3 32,975 46.3 SHARP * 13,173 92.7 38,244 53.7 (exhausted 4 29 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 14,213 71,248 03.7 00.9 to ALP -------------------------------------------------------------------- John Randall Sharp (born 1954): Elected 1984, 1987, 1990, 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTION OF 2 MARCH 1996 ==================================================================== Southern NSW: Goulburn, Temora, Yass, Young -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1993 two-party majority: NPA over ALP 03.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrolled voters: 75,978 +01.2 Votes cast: 73,653 96.9 00.0 Informal votes: 1,912 02.6 +00.5 Formal votes: 71,741 97.4 -00.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Candidate Party Votes % Swing -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Cox AD 4,001 05.6 +03.0 Kevin Watchirs Grn 1,876 02.6 John SHARP * NPA 40,921 57.0 +23.4 Tony Hewson ALP 24,943 34.8 -07.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 71,741 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd count: Watchirs's 1,876 votes distributed -------------------------------------------------------------------- Cox 937 50.6 4,938 06.9 SHARP * 469 25.3 41,390 57.7 Hewson 447 24.1 25,390 35.4 (exhausted 23 23 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,876 71,741 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd count: Cox's 4,938 votes distributed -------------------------------------------------------------------- SHARP * 2,784 58.7 44,174 61.8 Hewson 1,955 41.3 27,345 38.2 (exhausted 199 222 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,938 71,741 11.8 08.1 to NPA -------------------------------------------------------------------- John Randall Sharp (born 1954): Elected 1984, 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996 Minister for Transport and Regional Development 11 March 1996 to 24 September 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharp resigned following allegations that he had abused his travel allowance.
