Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 1916–1919

Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 19161919

This is a list of members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly between the 25 March 1916 election and the 31 May 1919 election. At the 1916 election, no party won a majority, and the Liberals' Walter Lee became Premier of Tasmania. During the term, the Liberal Party converted into the new Nationalist Party, and the Labor Party split over conscription. However, most of the Parliamentary Labor Party stayed with the executive, and the two MHAs who left the Party switched to federal politics. The state of flux, however, resulted in four seats switching from Labor to Nationalist at by-elections and recounts.

All members listed here as Nationalists who held office prior to 1917 were previously known as Liberals.

2 Nationalist (formerly Liberal) MHA William Burgess died on 1 May 1917. Nationalist candidate George Foster was elected on 23 June 1917.
