Queensland state election, 2001. Following the 2001 state election, One Nation’s primary vote collapsed to less than ten percent of the vote. As shown by this map of the election result, One Nation held onto just three seats: Lockyer, Gympie and Tablelands. These were remnants of the party’s electoral success in 1998 when One Nation stormed onto the political scene and captured 11 seats highlighting new divisions in the political landscape.
