Senate composition at 22 February 1950 Government (36) - (5 seat majority) Labor (36)
This is a list of members of the Australian Senate from 1 July 1947 to 30 June 1950.
The plurality-at-large voting system used before the 1949 election meant that the winning party (or coalition) ticket usually took all seats in each state.
The Senate was expanded from 36 to 60 seats as a result of legislation passed in 1948.
