Robert Askin Liberal/Country coalition Robert Askin Liberal/Country coalition Elections for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly were held in the state of New South Wales, Australia, on Saturday 17 November 1973.

The result was a win for the Liberal-Country Party coalition under Sir Robert Askin, which had been in office since 1965.

The Legislative Assembly had been enlarged by three members to 99 adding the seats of Woronora, Penrith and Ku-ring-gai.

Askin called an early election to take advantage of the increasing economic issues which had been attributed to the Whitlam Labor government.

The Democratic Labor Party won its only lower house seat at the 1973 election following the Liberal Party's incumbent for the northern Sydney seat of Gordon — Harry Jago failed to nominate in time.
