Talk:1965 South Australian state election

DLP
Does anyone know the reason for the slashing of the DLP vote at this election? It was before Whitlam became the federal ALP leader. Did Dunstan have a far greater "DLP-nulling" effect (as a state MP) than Whitlam did (as deputy to Calwell)? (as the vote was slashed before the ALP came to power here and not after federally) Timeshift 04:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
