Australian Labor implode.

And probably worth noting that that would be more of an issue in Queensland than elsewhere.

Going proportional voting pretty much renders electorates useless. You're voting for a proportion of the Parliament as a whole instead of a regional representative. That's one hellova psychological issue to overcome there as people like to think they control who represents them.

Just think, in 1998 with proportional voting One Nation would've won 20 seats instead of the 11 they did win. Scary thought eh?

That's only if you go for a single electorate PR model like Israel or the Netherlands.

Hare Clark multi-member districts on the Tasmanian and ACT model preserves not only regional representation, but also the ability to effectively vote for specific individual candidates over others of their same party, because Robson Rotation eliminates donkey votes (in the last Tassie election two Labor members lost their seats to more popular Labor candidates).

So...what you're saying is that Queensland is a one-party state.

Technically yes.
