It has been called a form of <a href="/wiki/Gerrymander" class="mw-redirect" title="Gerrymander">gerrymander</a>, dubbed the "<i><a href="/wiki/Bjelkemander" title="Bjelkemander">Bjelkemander</a></i>" however it is more accurately referred to as an <a href="/wiki/Australian_electoral_system#Gerrymandering_and_malapportionment" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian electoral system">electoral malapportionment</a>. In a classic gerrymander, electoral boundaries are drawn to take advantage of known pockets of supporters and to isolate areas of opposition voters so as to maximise the number of seats for the government for a given number of votes and to cause opposition support to be "wasted" by concentrating their supporters in relatively fewer electorates. </p><p>The Queensland "gerrymander", first introduced by the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party_(Queensland_Branch)" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian Labor Party (Queensland Branch)">Labor Party</a> (ALP) government of <a href="/wiki/Ned_Hanlon_(politician)" title="Ned Hanlon (politician)">Ned Hanlon</a> in 1949 used a series of electoral zones based on their distance from Brisbane. </p><p>Initially Queensland was divided into three zones—the metropolitan zone (Brisbane), the provincial cities zone (which also included rural areas around provincial cities) and the rural zone. While the number of electors in each seat in a zone was roughly equal, there was considerable variation in the number of electors between zones. Thus an electorate in the remote zone might have as few as 5,000 electors, while a seat in the metropolitan zone might have as many as 25,000. Using this system the Labor government was able to maximise its vote, particularly in its power base of the provincial city zone. </p><p>With the split in the party in the late 1950s the ALP lost office and a conservative <a href="/wiki/Coalition_(Australia)" title="Coalition (Australia)">Coalition</a> government led by the Country Party (later <a href="/wiki/National_Party_of_Australia_%E2%80%93_Queensland" class="mw-redirect" title="National Party of Australia – Queensland">National Party</a>) under <a href="/wiki/Frank_Nicklin" title="Frank Nicklin">Frank Nicklin</a> came to power, which, as discussed above, initially modified the voting system to introduce preferential voting, to take advantage of Labor's split. It also separated the provincial cities from their hinterlands. The hinterlands were added to the rural zone, where new Country Party seats were created. </p><p>As the divisions in the ALP abated in the early 1970s, and tensions in the conservative coalition grew, (thus reducing the advantage to be gained by the use of preferential voting), the conservative government, now led by <a href="/wiki/Joh_Bjelke-Petersen" title="Joh Bjelke-Petersen">Joh Bjelke-Petersen</a>, modified the zoning system to add a fourth zone—a remote zone, comprising seats with even fewer electors. Thus the conservative government was able to isolate Labor support in provincial cities and maximise its own rural power base. On average, the Country Party needed only 7,000 votes to win a seat, compared with 12,800 for a typical Labor seat. </p><p>The entrenchment of a Coalition government was also caused by <a href="/wiki/Socio-economic" class="mw-redirect" title="Socio-economic">socio-economic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Demographic" class="mw-redirect" title="Demographic">demographic</a> changes associated with mechanisation of farms and urbanisation which led to a drift of working class population from rural and remote electorates to the cities. </p><p>By the late 1980s the decline in the political fortunes of the National Party, together with rapid growth in south east Queensland meant that the zonal system was no longer able to guarantee a conservative victory. </p><p>In addition, in 1988 the Federal Labor Government held <a href="/wiki/1988_Australian_referendum" title="1988 Australian referendum">four constitutional referendums</a>—<a href="/wiki/Australian_referendum,_1988_(Fair_Elections)" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian referendum, 1988 (Fair Elections)">one of which</a> was for the adoption of fair electoral systems around Australia. Although the referendum did not succeed, it heightened public awareness of the issue. A large public interest non-partisan organisation, the Citizens for Democracy, lobbied extensively the Liberal and Labor parties to abolish the gerrymander and to make it a major issue in the lead up to the landmark 1989 Queensland election. </p><p>Despite the malapportionment, Labor was rarely able to garner a higher percentage of the vote than the Coalition for most of this period. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1989–present"><span id="1989.E2.80.93present"></span>1989–present</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Legislative_Assembly_of_Queensland&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1989–present"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1989 Labor won government, promising to implement the recommendations of the <a href="/wiki/Fitzgerald_Inquiry" title="Fitzgerald Inquiry">Fitzgerald Inquiry</a> into police corruption, including the establishment of an Electoral and Administrative Reform Commission (EARC). EARC recommended the abolition of the zonal system in favour of a "modified one vote, one value" system. Under this proposal, subsequently adopted, most electorates consisted of approximately the same number of electors, but with a greater tolerance for fewer electors allowed in a limited number of remote electorates. This plan is still in use today.
