Notes: On the new boundaries, Hawkesbury became a solid conservative seat, and sitting Labor MP F.J.Finnan chose to contest the new inner-city electorate of Darlinghurst. Dr J J G McGirr was the son of former NSW Labor Deputy Premier J J Greg McGirr, contesting this election in opposition to his uncle James McGirr.
