Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Includes Independent Labor.
  2. ^ a b Patrick Minahan and Scott Campbell were nominated by the Labor Party, however their endorsement was withdrawn before the polling day because they signed a pledge for the unconditional release of twelve imprisoned members of the Industrial Workers of the World.[10]
  3. ^ a b c The New South Wales Election Results database,[22] lists Brookfield as the only socialist with Hynes and O'Reilly listed as independents. Contemporary accounts show Brookfield, Hynes and O'Reilly as all being supported by the Amalgamated Miners Association political league, then under the banner of the Socialist Labor Party,[24] which subsequently split to become the Industrial Labor Party.[23]
