Members of the Australian House of Representatives, 1901–1903
This is a list of the members of the Australian House of Representatives in the First Australian Parliament, which was elected on 29 March 1901. There were 75 members, as required by the Constitution, as near as possible to twice the number of Senators which was then 36. South Australia and Tasmania had not been divided into electoral divisions in 1901 which resulted in the particular state voting as a single electorate, with each elector casting seven votes. The seven candidates with the highest votes were elected.
