However, a redistribution for the 1984 election made Tangney notionally Liberal, forcing Gear to transfer to nearby Canning. Shack ran for his old seat in that election and won it with a large swing. He held the seat without serious difficulty until his retirement in 1993.In 2013 Shack was convicted of stealing $100, 000 from his mother-in-law. On 26 April he was sentenced to 14 months prison.
