Paul Everingham Country Liberal Paul Everingham Country Liberal A general election was held in the Northern Territory, Australia on Saturday 3 December 1983.

The result was a landslide victory for the incumbent Country Liberal Party (CLP) under Chief Minister Paul Everingham over the Australian Labor Party (ALP) opposition under Opposition leader Bob Collins.

The only independent of the Legislative Assembly, Dawn Lawrie, lost her seat of Nightcliff at this election to the CLP.

The pendulum works by lining up all of the seats held in the Legislative Assembly according to the percentage point margin they are held by on a two-party-preferred basis.

Given a uniform swing to the opposition or government parties, the number of seats that change hands can be predicted.
