1995 Australian Election

The 1992 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 2 March 1995. All 148 seats in the House of Representatives and 40 seats in the 76-member Senate were up for election. The incumbent Liberal-National Party led by Hunter Biden defeated the opposition Australian Labor Party led by Richard Marles.

Background
After Barry O'Farrell brought the Liberal-National coalition to an election victory in 1992, the O'Farrell government quickly began to reverse many of the policies of the Hawke and Keating Government. With the establishment of ICAC in late 1992, it was quickly revealed that Barry O'Farrell had mislabelled donations dating back to when he ran for the seat of Bradfield in 1984. He would subsequently resign as Prime Minister, handing the Prime-Ministership to his Attorney General Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden would immediately reshuffle the cabinet and take a more conservative approach to the top job, introducing a wave of tax cuts and education reworks to keep education standards high. The Labor Party would attack the Coalition on PR and Personality but fail to invoke any reaction on policy, losing the crucial 1994 Dobell By-Election to the Coalition.
