TASMANIA ======================================================================== HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY ======================================================================== THE TWENTY-FIFTH PARLIAMENT ELECTED 9 JUNE 1934 ======================================================================== The Twenty-Fifth Parliament was opened on 25 September 1934 and was dissolved on 14 January 1937 Sources ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voting figures are taken from the "Report on General Election 9th June 1934", by Edward Parkes, Chief Electoral Officer. Biographies of elected members are from Bennett and the Tasmanian Parliament website. Candidate full names are from a list published in the "Burnie Advocate", 16 May 1934. Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labor under Albert Ogilvie staged a strong recovery from its heavy defeat in 1931 at this election, winning four seats from the Nationalists. Sir Walter Lee's Nationalist government paid the price for its policies of retrenchment in response to the Great Depression. They polled particularly poorly in Hobart, which cost them two seats in Denison. This was attributed to the public service vote. Labor won 14 seats, two short of a majority, but two of the three independent members stated their support for Labor. George Becker (Wilmot) was a former Labor minister, and George Carruthers (Denison), elected for Social Credit, had until recently been a Labor Party member. As a result, Ogilvie was able to form a minority government. In 1936 Lee resigned as Nationalist leader and was succeeded by Henry Baker. The only female candidate was Lesley Murdoch, an independent in Denison, who polled poorly.
