Mr Jeff Kennett was elected Leader of the Opposition in October, 1982. Under his leadership, the Victorian Coalition was elected to Government on October 3, 1992, with two-to-one majorities in both Houses of Parliament - a position unparalleled in almost 140 years of responsible State Government in Victoria.
In the Government’s first term, Mr Kennett held the positions of Premier and Minister for Ethnic Affairs.
The Coalition was returned to office at the March 30, 1996, election with a net gain in representation across both Houses of Parliament.
Mr Kennett continued as Premier, as well as serving as Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Minister for the Arts. He headed the Government’s peak industry organisations - the Ministerial Industry Council, Premier’s Business Round Table, Victorian Communications and Multimedia Task Force and Food Victoria, and chaired the Science, Engineering and Technology Task Force.
Under his Premiership, Victoria earned the reputation as Australia’s most reformist government.
