1983 Marrickville state by-election
Election result for Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Marrickville on 22 October 1983. It was triggered by the death of Tom Cahill (Labor).[1]
The Marrickville by-election was held the same day as the by-elections for Kogarah, Maroubra and Riverstone. All were safe Labor seats and while there was a swing against Labor in each seat (7.2% to 11.8%), all were retained by Labor.[2]
