A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Liverpool on 29 April 1989 because of the resignation of George Paciullo (Labor),[1] after being passed over as leader of the party. The Labor pre-selection was the subject of a bitter battle between Mark Latham from the right wing faction and Paul Lynch from the left.[2] Peter Anderson from the right was imposed by the Labor national executive.[3]
