Add article description


This is a list of members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly between the 10 June 1922 election and the 3 June 1925 election. The fledgling Country Party got five members elected, including two former Nationalists, but by the end of the term the party had all but merged into the Nationalist Party. A new Liberal Party emerged before the 1925 election, counting the support of three MHAs.
