1995 New South Wales referendums

Referendums concerning the independence of judges and four-year parliamentary terms were put to New South Wales voters on 25 March 1995.

Voters were asked to strengthen protections of the political independence of judges and magistrates.

The Fahey coalition government inherited the fixed four-year terms proposal.

Fahey's predecessor, Nick Greiner, had promised a referendum on the subject, among other things, to three independents in order to keep office in 1991.

The text of the question was "Do you approve of the Bill entitled: A Bill for an Act to require the Parliament of New South Wales to serve full 4-year terms and to prevent politicians calling early general elections or changing these new constitutional rules without a further referendum?"
