2005 Marrickville state by-election

Election result for Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia March 2021 March 2021 A by-election was held in the State Electoral District of Marrickville in New South Wales, Australia on 17 September 2005. The by-election was prompted by the resignation of the sitting member Deputy Premier Andrew Refshauge (Labor NSW) on 10 August 2005, in the wake of the resignation of Premier Bob Carr. The by-election was timed to coincide with two other state by-elections in Macquarie Fields and Maroubra. The main contenders were the ALP's Carmel Tebbutt, who had been a member of the Legislative Council since 1998 and was the wife of Anthony Albanese, the member for the local federal electorate of Grayndler, and Greens NSW candidate Sam Byrne, who at that time was the deputy mayor of Marrickville. The Liberal Party did not stand a candidate. Nominations for the by-election closed on 2 September 2005. Results Carmel Tebbutt was elected with 49.79% of the primary vote and 55.07% of the two-candidate preferred vote after preferences were distributed. However, this was a 5.63% swing to the Greens, and Sam Byrne's 38.96% primary vote was the highest for a Greens candidate in New South Wales electoral history.March 2021 Greens result Source does not mention other results by the Greens [[2005 Marrickville state by-election|2005 Marrickville by-election]]Saturday 17 September2005 Marrickville by-election New South Wales Electoral Commission http://www.elections.nsw.gov.au/state_government_elections/election_results/district_index/marrickville/results/2005_byelection https://web.archive.org/web/20071128154006/http://www.elections.nsw.gov.au/state_government_elections/election_results/district_index/marrickville/results/2005_byelection 2007-11-28 dead2005 Marrickville by-election 2003 Marrickville_1 1 December 2019 Labor NSW Carmel Tebbutt 17,428 49.79 +1.39 Greens NSW Sam Byrne 13,638 38.96 +10.49 Saidi Goldstein Christian Democrats 1,066 3.05 +3.05 Democrats Michelle Bleicher 977 2.79 +0.28 Socialist Alliance Pip Hinman 526 1.50 -1.22 Save Our Suburbs Lorraine Thompson 484 1.38 +0.01 Independent Chris McLachlan 397 1.13 +1.13 Independent Malcolm Woodward 344 0.98 +0.98 Alasdair MacDonald 144 0.41 +0.41 35,004 97.32 1,012 2.68 36,016 78.25 Labor NSW Carmel Tebbutt 18,059 55.07 -5.63 Greens NSW Sam Byrne 14,731 44.93 +5.63 Labor NSW -5.63 Andrew Refshauge (Labor NSW) resigned.
