1965 Bondi state by-election

Election result for Bondi, New South Wales, Australia

A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Bondi on 6 November 1965 because Abe Landa (Labor) resigned to accept the position of Agent-General for New South Wales in London.[1] This position was usually a sinecure for retiring members of the ruling party but Premier Robert Askin offered it to Landa to force his resignation from parliament and cause a by-election with the hope of increasing his government's small majority. Landa's acceptance of the position resulted in his expulsion from the Labor Party.[2]
