Members of the South Australian Legislative Council, 1975–1979
- Members of the South Australian Legislative Council, 1975–1979
-
This is a list of members of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1975 to 1979. Ten of these members were elected at the 1975 state election with terms expiring in 1982, while the other half were elected at the 1979 state election with terms expiring in 1985.
This period operated under transitional arrangements following the rearrangement of the Council from a restricted-franchise house with ten provinces each electing two members, to a 22-member house elected to staggered terms on an open franchise, proportional representation model. Due in part to a constitutional requirement that those elected at the 1973 election serve six-year terms, the next Council election was in 1979 even though the next Assembly election was held in 1977.
