Members of the Australian Senate, 1975–1978

Members of the Australian Senate, 19751978

This is a list of members of the Australian Senate from 1975 to 1978. The 13 December 1975 election was a double dissolution of both Houses, with all 127 seats in the House of Representatives, and all 64 seats in the Senate were up for election. Malcolm Fraser had been commissioned as prime minister following the dismissal of the Prime Minister Gough Whitlams three-year old Labor government by Governor-General Sir John Kerr, on 11 November 1975. The same day, Fraser advised the calling of the election, in accordance with Kerrs stipulated conditions. Thus the Liberal Party of Australia, led by Fraser, with coalition partner the National Country Party, led by Doug Anthony, went to the election as a minority caretaker government. The election resulted in the Coalition securing government with a 30-seat swing in the House of Representatives away from Labor.

In accordance with section 13 of the Constitution terms for Senators (except for the four representatives of the territories) was taken to commence on 1 July 1975. Half the Senators representing the States were allocated terms finishing on 30 June 1978 and the other half on 30 June 1981. The terms of Senators representating the territories finished at the dissolution of the House of Representatives for the December 1977 election.
