This was triggered by the resignation of former Labor Party leader Bill Hayden to become Governor-General. Both the Liberal Party and the National Party fielded candidates; the Liberal Party overtook the National Party into second place. The election was won by Labor candidate Les Scott, despite an 11.8% swing to the Liberals.
