Based on the results of the previous election, it was calculated to have a Labor majority of 61.5% to 38.5% versus the Liberal Party. It was contested by the incumbent member for Millner, Labor MP Matthew Bonson, who lost to the Country Liberal Party's candidate, former federal MP Dave Tollner, on a swing of 13 percent. Tollner was reelected in 2012 as the CLP won government.
