David Murray (New South Wales politician)

David Murray (15 February 1885 – 8 May 1928) was an Australian politician and member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1921 until his death in 1928.

Murray was born in Balmain, New South Wales and was educated to elementary level at St Benedict's School, Chippendale.

He was eventually re-employed in a lower graded position as a car cleaner.

At the 1920 state election, conducted by proportional representation, he was the fourth (and first unsuccessful) candidate on the ALP list for the 5 member seat of Newcastle.

After the abolition of proportional representation and multi-member seats he was elected to the seat of Hamilton at the 1927election but died in the following year and was succeeded by James Smith.
