Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council, 1898–1901
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council who served from 1898 to 1901 were appointed for life by the Governor on the advice of the Premier. This list includes members between the election on 27 July 1898 and the election on 3 July 1901.[1] The President was Sir John Lackey.[9]
Non-Labor party affiliations at this time were fluid, and especially in the Legislative Council regarded more as loose labels than genuine parties.
