Biographies of elected members are from Bennett and the Tasmanian Parliament website. Candidate full names are from a list published in the "Hobart Mercury", 4 August 1948. Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Cosgrove led Labor to a sixth straight win at this election, retaining its 15 seats despite a slight fall in its vote. The Liberals won 14 seats, gaining two seats from independents. The third independent, William Wedd, remained as Speaker, but resigned in June 1950, forcing Labor to provide a Speaker. Despite this, the Labor government survived until the 1955 election. There were no female candidates at this election.
