History

[edit]

Murray was a single-member electorate from 1859 to 1880, returning two members from 1880 to 1894, returning to a single member electorate from 1894 to 1920. The district created in 1859 included the districts surrounding the towns ofDeniliquin,Moama andMoulamein.[2] It was substantially re-created in 1904 as a result of the1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[3] The member for The Murray from 1894 to 1904 wasJames Hayes who was appointed to the Legislative Council and did not contest the election.[4]

The district re-created in 1904 consisted of the abolished seat ofWentworth and parts ofThe Lachlan and the abolished seat ofHay.[5][6] The member for Wentworth wasRobert Scobie (Labour).[7] The member for The Lachlan wasJames Carroll (Progressive) who unsuccessfully contested that seat. The member for Hay wasFrank Byrne who did not contest the election.

From 1920 to 1927 it returned three members, having merged withAlbury,Corowa andWagga Wagga, voting byproportional representation. It returned to being a single-member electorate from 1927. Murray was abolished in 1999 when it was merged withBroken Hill to createMurray-Darling.[8]

Murray was recreated for the2015 state election, combining the southern part of the abolished district ofMurray-Darling and the western part of the abolished district ofMurrumbidgee.[9][10][11][12]
