1972 Mosman state by-election
Election result for Mosman, New South Wales, Australia
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Mosman on Saturday, 29 July 1972.[1] It was triggered by the retirement of the former Leader of the New South Wales Liberal Party and Minister of the Crown, Pat Morton.[2]
The seat was subsequently won by David Arblaster (Liberal). Despite Mosman being a safe Liberal seat, the Labor Party fielded a candidate. The Liberal primary vote fell 11.1% compared to the previous year's general election. The same four parties contested both.[3]
