There is a theory that the rising popularity of this National Party state government in Queensland affected the federal election plans. Richmond is located just across from the Tweed river from Gold Coast.

Charles William Blunt (born 19 January 1951) is an ex- Australian politician who was the leader in the National Party of Australia from 1989 until 1990.

Blunt was promoted immediately to the opposition’s front bench and was appointed shadow Minister of Social Services. He was elected to Parliament in general elections of 1984 and 1987.

The culmination of these trends was a swing against the NPA at the 1990 election, at which the Hawke Labor government was re-elected. Blunt was defeated in his own seat of Richmond. He went into the election holding Richmond with a majority of six percent, just barely outside the range of being safe. However, he had no local connections, which worked against him in a country seat. Labor challenger Neville Newell won the seat on the seventh count after Caldicott’s preferences flowed overwhelmingly to him, allowing him to take the seat on a swing of seven percent. It was only the second time that the leader of a major Australian party had lost his own seat in an election; the first was Stanley Bruce, the then Prime Minister, who lost not only the 1929 election but also his own seat of Flinders. The NPA also lost the adjoining seat of Page, both campaigns being heavily influenced by Queensland media.
