Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 1906–1909

Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 19061909

This is a list of members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly between the 29 March 1906 election and the 30 April 1909 election.

This proved to be the last term of single-member representation, which had served the House for over half a century since its first elections in September 1856. In 1907, a redistribution adopted the five federal electorates which had been created for Tasmania, and used the Hare-Clark proportional representation system to elect six members to each of the seats. The changes became effective at the 1909 election.

The 1906 election resulted in three more Labor members being electedalthough one was replacing Labor-turned-Independent member William Lamerton. As most of the retiring or defeated members were Independents, this had little impact on the party balance and enabled John Evans to continue as Premier of Tasmania throughout the term.
