Marrickville by-election, 2005

Marrickville by-election, 2005

A by-election was held in the State Electoral District of Marrickville in New South Wales, Australia on 17 September 2005.

The by-election was prompted by the resignation of the sitting member Deputy Premier Andrew Refshauge (Australian Labor Party) on 10 August 2005, in the wake of the resignation of Premier Bob Carr.

The main contenders were the ALP's Carmel Tebbutt, who had been a member of the Legislative Council since 1998 and is the wife of Anthony Albanese, the member for the local federal electorate of Grayndler, and Greens candidate Sam Byrne, who at that time was the deputy mayor of Marrickville. The Liberal Party did not stand a candidate.

Nominations for the by-election closed on September 2, 2005.

Results

Carmel Tebbutt was elected with 49.79% of the primary vote and 55.07% of two-candidate preferred vote after preferences were distributed. However, this was a 5.63% swing to the Greens, and Sam Byrne's 38.96% primary vote was the highest for a Greens candidate in New South Wales electoral history.cite web
