Notes

  1. Swing is calculated using the Butler method, being the average of the 1907 winning party percentage-point gain and the 1904 losing party percentage-point loss. NA is used where one of the parties did not contest both elections.
  2. Paddy Crick (Progressive) had won Blayney at the 1904 election, however he was expelled by the Assembly after being accused of bribery. The by-election in January 1907 was won by John Withington (Liberal Reform) who was defeated by George Beeby (Labor) at the 1907 general election.
  3. John Norton challenged William Holman to face a by-election and was soundly defeated at the Surry Hills by-election in July 1906, finishing fourth behind Albert Bruntnell (Liberal Reform). At the 1907 general election Bruntnell chose to contest Alexandria but the seat was retained for Liberal Reform by Sir James Graham.
