Notes: Ball had been elected as a Nationalist but joined the Country Party rather than the United Australia Party on the demise of the Nationalists. He had joined the Country Party after local party members had already pre-selected a candidate, resulting in two Country Party candidates contesting this seat. (Robinson)
