Electoral district of Kurri Kurri

Kurri Kurri was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales created in 1927, with the abolition of the multi-member electorates of Newcastle and Maitland and named after the Hunter Region town of Kurri Kurri.

[1][2][3][4] Kurri Kurri was a safe Labor seat and was only held by a Labor candidate.

[5] The closest contest was the 1956 election, the only occasion in which a conservative party fielded a candidate, when Liberal candidate Stanley Mettam achieved 15.6% of the vote.

[6] George Booth represented the district for more than 30 years,[3] and when he died was succeeded by his son Ken.
