Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council, 1895–1898

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council who served from 1895 to 1898 were appointed for life by the Governor on the advice of the Premier. This list includes members between the election on 24 July 1895 and the election on 27 July 1898.[1] The President was Sir John Lackey.[7]

Although a loose party system had emerged in the Legislative Assembly at this time, there was no real party structure in the Council.
