A by-election was held in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland seat of Mulgrave on 5 December 1998. It was triggered by the resignation of sitting One Nation member Charles Rappolt. The by-election was won by Labor candidate Warren Pitt. Background{{See also|Charles Rappolt}}Charles Rappolt came to parliament as one of 11 One Nation candidates elected at the 1998 state election. Rappolt won the seat of Mulgrave with 54.2% of the two party preferred vote.[1] However, Rappolt found it difficult to cope with the pressures of public life and resigned his seat just four months into his term. CandidatesThe by-election pitted two former members for Mulgrave against each other. The National Party endorsed Naomi Wilson who had held the seat from 1995 to 1998 before her defeat to Rappolt at the 1998 state election. The Labor Party preselected Warren Pitt, member for Mulgrave from 1989 to 1995 before his defeat to Wilson at the 1995 state election. Pitt had also unsuccessfully stood for the seat at the 1998 state election. One Nation chose Peter Boniface to defend the seat. ResultWith One Nation failing to repeat their strong state election performance, the contest reverted to a more typical Labor versus National contest. Labor's Warren Pitt prevailed narrowly. {{Election box begin | title=Mulgrave state by-election, 1998[2] }}{{Election box candidate AU party|party = Labor QLD |candidate = Warren Pitt |votes = 9,446 |percentage = 42.35 |change = +5.33 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Nationals QLD |candidate = Naomi Wilson |votes = 8,550 |percentage = 38.33 |change = +8.38 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = One Nation |candidate = Peter Boniface |votes = 3,470 |percentage = 15.56 |change = −15.48 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Greens QLD |candidate = Jonathan Metcalfe |votes = 573 |percentage = 2.57 |change = +2.57 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Independent |candidate = Norm Mathison |votes = 266 |percentage = 1.19 |change = +1.19 }}{{Election box formal |votes = 22,205 |percentage = 98.99 |change = }}{{Election box informal |votes = 228 |percentage = 1.01 |change = }}{{Election box turnout |votes = 22,433 |percentage = 85.83 |change = }}{{Election box 2pp}}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Labor QLD |candidate = Warren Pitt |votes = 10,394 |percentage = 50.63 |change = +4.8 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Nationals QLD |candidate = Naomi Wilson |votes = 10,135 |percentage = 49.37 |change = +49.37 }}{{Election box gain AU party |winner = Labor QLD |loser = One Nation |swing = N/A }}{{Election box end}} AftermathWhere previously the Labor government of Peter Beattie had governed in the minority—they held 44 seats in an 89-seat parliament and depended upon the support of independent MP Peter Wellington—their victory in Mulgrave gave the government an outright majority of 45 seats.
