Notes: Hughes and Graham (1975) list Meagher and as Unendorsed Protectionist, where the SMH lists him as an Independent before (27 July, p.4 col.1) and after (30 July, p.10 col.1) the election. The DT 27 July listed him as an Opposition candidate. With conflicting sources, Meagher has been listed as an Independent.
