Liberal Movement The Liberal Movement (LM) was a minor Australian political party that stemmed from discontent within the ranks of the Liberal and Country League (LCL), the predecessor to the South Australian division of the Liberal Party of Australia. The party was first formed by former Premier Steele Hall as a wing of the LCL in 1972 in response to a lack of social and electoral reform within the party. A year later, when tensions heightened between the LCL's conservative wing and the LM, it was established on its own in as a progressive liberal party. When still part of the league, it had eleven representatives; on its own, it initially had three. In the federal election of 1974, it succeeded in electing Hall to the Senate on a primary vote of 10%. It built upon this in the 1975 SA election, gaining a fifth of the vote and an additional lower house member, and with the other non-Labor parties, narrowly failing to dislodge the incumbent Don Dunstan-led Labor Government. The failure of the non-Labor parties to gain power, combined with internal decline within the LM, led to it being absorbed back into the LCL turned state Liberal Party of Australia. The non-Labor forces succeeded, after an initial loss in 1977, in ascending to office for one term in the 1979 state election.

- Prior to 1984 the AEC did not undertake a full distribution of preferences for statistical purposes. The stored ballot papers for the 1983 election were put through this process prior to their destruction. Therefore the figures from 1983 onwards show the actual result based on full distribution of preferences.
