Sitting members at the time of the election are shown in bold text. All of the candidates standing as "Independent Socialists" were actually members of the Communist Party of Australia who could not stand under their party label due to illegality. Those marked as standing as Communists are sourced from Hughes & Graham (p. 192-198).
