  • In the 1987 election, Reg Boorman won by one vote, but Creech later challenged that result on the grounds that Boorman had violated new laws about election spending. Creech also challenged more than 200 votes (on various grounds). The Electoral Court approved Creech's petition, and Creech won the seat in 1988 with a majority of 34 votes (9994 to 9960).
