[1][2] John Sweeney retained the seat for the Jack Lang-led Labor Party despite a negative swing of 17.3% from the 1932 state election.

[3][4] Much of the party's vote went to Albert Willis, who contested the by-election as a "Miners' Candidate" after being expelled from Labor for standing against an endorsed candidate.

[5][6] Additionally, the Federal Labor Party was expected to contest the by-election after receiving 3.8% of the vote in 1932, but this did not eventuate.
