A referendum on entrenching the ACT's electoral system was also held alongside the election. Like the 1989 and 1992 elections, the result was another hung parliament. However, the Liberal Party were able to form government with the support of Michael Moore and Paul Osborne. Liberal leader Kate Carnell was elected chief minister at the first sitting of the third Assembly on 9 March 1995. http://www.hansard.act.gov.au/hansard/1995/week01/4.htm Legislative Assembly for the ACT - Week 1 ACT Hansard ACT Legislative Assembly 1995-03-09 2010-08-08 This was the first time the Legislative Assembly used single transferable voting, following the results of the 1992 electoral system referendum. Canberra had been divided into three multi-member district instead of the previous single at-large district. This was also the first time at an Australian federal, state or territory election that the leaders of both major parties have been female. This would not occur again until the 2020 Queensland state election.
