This was a clear rejection of the Unsworth Government, although it was less clear whether the electorate was endorsing the full range of Coalition policies. Qualms about the meaning of its mandate were clearly of little concern to the new government, under <a href="/wiki/Nick_Greiner" title="Nick Greiner">Nick Greiner</a> which immediately began introducing wide-ranging reforms to the New South Wales public sector. </p><p>The finance and administration of all government trading enterprises was put on a more commercial basis, with standard rates of return on capital set and separate community service obligations for specific public funding identified. There were major expenditure cuts and dramatic price increases in education, public transport and electricity. The new government spoke of New South Wales living beyond its means; introducing new user-pay charges, proposed the sale of underused public assets to help pay off state debt, and flagged the use of private capital to build public infrastructure. It was a radical agenda at the time, but it was package of reforms that would become the standard across Australia over the next decade. </p><p>The government implemented “truth in sentencing” laws which required judges to set minimum terms for convicted criminals and abolished time off for good behaviour in gaol. Responding to the corruption allegations that had regularly swirled around New South Wales politics, the government also created a standing royal commission, the <a href="/wiki/Independent_Commission_Against_Corruption_(New_South_Wales)" title="Independent Commission Against Corruption (New South Wales)">Independent Commission Against Corruption</a> (ICAC), as an independent body to investigate allegations of corruption and maladministration. </p><p>The government attracted most controversy over changes on the educational sector, adding the confrontational style of Education Minister <a href="/wiki/Terry_Metherell" title="Terry Metherell">Terry Metherell</a>. There were major cutbacks in teaching and ancillary staff, closures of schools and an increase in class sizes and the number of composite classes. The government unzoned state schools, and have allowed parents to enroll their children outside of the local district. This situation allowed the creation of new selective and specialist high schools. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Labor_Opposition">Labor Opposition</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Labor Opposition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Labor Opposition initially struggled in the face of the government's rapidly moving agenda. Ten ministers had either retired or been defeated at the <a href="/wiki/1988_New_South_Wales_state_election" title="1988 New South Wales state election">1988 election</a>. The former Environment and Planning Minister, <a href="/wiki/Bob_Carr" title="Bob Carr">Bob Carr</a> had reluctantly accepted the party leadership. The Opposition had some encouraging results at by-elections as the government's new taxes and charges began to bite. </p><p>Labor made important gains at the March 1990 federal election, but the electoral position had been reversed by the end of the year. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Economic_conditions">Economic conditions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Economic conditions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The economic recession of the early-1990s hit the State's finances, but New South Wales was substantially better off than interstate Labor administrations that had accumulated debt and gambled on failed commercial ventures. </p><p>The hard medicine introduced by the Greiner Government was unpopular, but it was becoming apparent that New South Wales was in a better position as a result of the financial changes. The surprise resignation of Metherell over tax charges in July 1990 provided a boost for the government by removing its most controversial Minister. </p><p>Opinion polls showed the government trailing by seven points in March 1990, but 15 points ahead in December. The government was now well placed for an early election and keen to avoid the opprobrium of another tough budget. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Redistribution">Redistribution</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Redistribution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The opportunity came with the finalisation of a redistribution in March 1991. The Coalition had promised to cut the size of the Legislative Assembly from 109 to 99 seats, reversing the previous government's increase and automatically triggering a redistribution. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Campaign">Campaign</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Campaign"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The government campaigned on its record, arguing good financial management had prevented New South Wales suffering the sort of financial collapse caused by interstate Labor Governments. </p><p>The Labor Party campaigned on those same government reforms, but concentrated on how the government's new taxes and charges had hurt lower to middle income families, combined with the government's sale of state assets and institutions, reduction in services for health, public housing maintenance, transport (particularly rail), tolls on the M4 motorway, and RTA road $2 million funding for Western Sydney Council's being wiped out and used in the Deputy Premier Wal Murray's Western NSW seat of Barwon following the Nyngan floods of 1990. The Nyngan floods additionally damaged the passenger rail line, with the flood damaged rail line never repaired or services reopened. The tendering out to a South African listed company transport and delivery of documents in contravention of the international boycott of business dealings with South African private, listed and government organisations was also an issue. </p><p>Disparity in government responses to natural disasters was highlighted by the lack of natural disaster declarations in March 1990. On 18 March 1990, a savage hailstorm devastated regions of areas from southwest Sydney to near Dee Why. Hailstones the size of cricket balls and in some case larger pummeled vehicles and punctured holes in house roofs across many suburbs particularly Liverpool, Bankstown, Bass Hill, Auburn and Lidcombe. Hail sizes reported from this storm were up to 8 cm in diameter. One reliable report from Liverpool used two hands to indicate the sizes of the hail that fell at his residence. The Government failed to make a disaster declaration, however. </p><p>Adding insult to injury, the electorates with government members were assisted as a priority with many employees of those whose homes had been damaged in the South West of Sydney being directed to the government members' areas first. The 1990 disaster was until recently one of Australia's most costly natural disasters with a cost in 1990 of AUD$319 million (2011 normalised cost of AUD$1.3 billion). Some homes for over 10 years in the Southwest of Sydney damaged by this weather event had temporary "Tarps" on roofs. Local government infrastructure in the areas damaged by the hailstorm event also had to repair local facilities with existing funds to repair them with the absence of a natural disaster declaration. Local halls, swimming facilities, sporting and recreational areas were repaired without disaster relief funding from the state government, leaving the cost of repairs to local governments. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Key_dates">Key dates</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Key dates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Date </th> <th>Event </th></tr> <tr> <td>3 May 1991 </td> <td>The Legislative Assembly was dissolved, and writs were issued by the <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_South_Wales" title="Governor of New South Wales">Governor</a> to proceed with an election.<sup id="cite_ref-Green_1991_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Green_1991-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr> <tr> <td>8 May 1991 </td> <td>Nominations for candidates for the election closed at noon. </td></tr> <tr> <td>25 May 1991 </td> <td>Polling day, between the hours of 8am and 6pm. </td></tr> <tr> <td>6 June 1991 </td> <td>The <a href="/wiki/Greiner%E2%80%93Murray_ministry_(1991%E2%80%9392)" title="Greiner–Murray ministry (1991–92)">Greiner-Murray Ministry</a> was reconstituted. </td></tr> <tr> <td>28 June 1991 </td> <td>The writ was returned and the results formally declared. </td></tr> <tr> <td>2 July 1991 </td> <td>Parliament resumed for business. </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Results">Results</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_New_South_Wales_state_election&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Results"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The result was a stalemate.

Parliament</a></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><br /> </p><p>The 9.32% informal vote at the 1991 election was the highest on record. Labor-held seats in particular had high informal votes, with 23.48% in Bankstown, 17.80% in Cabramatta, 15.29% in Canterbury, 19.13% in Fairfield, 16.03% in Heffron, 15.82% in Lakemba, 22.24% in Londonderry, 16.07% in Smithfield and 8.26% in The Entrance. Informal votes was higher than all candidates except the winner of the seat. ABC election analyst <a href="/wiki/Antony_Green" title="Antony Green">Antony Green</a>'s election analysis stated it "may well be the highest ever recorded at a democratic election in the world". </p><p>The Liberal Party won <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_The_Entrance" title="Electoral district of The Entrance">The Entrance</a> by only 116 votes. The Labor Party launched a challenge to the result in the <a href="/wiki/Court_of_Disputed_Returns_(NSW)" class="mw-redirect" title="Court of Disputed Returns (NSW)">Court of Disputed Returns</a>, based on the significant number of voters in the electorate who had incorrectly been issued absent votes for the neighbouring electorate of <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Gosford" title="Electoral district of Gosford">Gosford</a>. The Court upheld the appeal and ordered a by-election, which Labor won. At the by-election, the informal vote was only 1.57%. </p><p>The referendum for changes to the upper house was approved by 58% of voters. </p><p>The Coalition recorded 52.7% of the two-party preferred vote, but most of its vote was wasted on landslide margins in its heartland. Labor rebounded strongly under Carr, recovering much of the ground it had lost in its severe defeat three years earlier. As a result, the Coalition suffered a 10-seat swing, winning only 49 of the 99 seats, one seat short of a majority. The Coalition also lost control of the Legislative Council at the election. </p><p>Labor defeated the four <a href="/wiki/Independent_politician" title="Independent politician">Independents</a> elected in formerly safe Labor seats in 1988 and, in addition, re-gained <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Broken_Hill" title="Electoral district of Broken Hill">Broken Hill</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Drummoyne" title="Electoral district of Drummoyne">Drummoyne</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Port_Stephens" title="Electoral district of Port Stephens">Port Stephens</a>, seats that on the new boundaries were notionally Coalition held. Former Labor MPs were returned to Parliament in both <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Cessnock" title="Electoral district of Cessnock">Cessnock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Bathurst" title="Electoral district of Bathurst">Bathurst</a>, while the issue of user-pay charges played an important part in Labor gaining both <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Parramatta" title="Electoral district of Parramatta">Parramatta</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Penrith" title="Electoral district of Penrith">Penrith</a>. </p><p>Coming so close to victory was a shock for the Labor Party, having entered the 1991 election merely hoping to hold what it had, and regain traditional Labor seats lost to Independents in 1988. The Coalition was overconfident that perceptions of good economic management would see it re-elected. It ran a presidential campaign that won the overall vote but resulted in the loss of key seats. The Coalition's best results were in safe Liberal Party seats on Sydney's North Shore, while Labor won the battle in marginal seats. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
