A by-election was held in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland seat of Bundamba on 5 February 2000.
Wolston was abolished at the 1992 state election, partly replaced by the new seat of Bundamba which Gibbs won and held thereafter.
Typically a safe Labor seat, the rise of One Nation at the 1998 state election made the contest for Bundamba closer than usual; Gibbs prevailed with 56.2% of the two party preferred vote.
[1] On 14 December 2000, Gibbs announced his resignation from parliament in order to become Queensland's North American Trade Commissioner.
Labor's retention of Bundamba and Woodridge meant that the government of Peter Beattie retained its one-seat majority in parliament.
