This is a list of
the members of the Australian
House of Representatives in
the First Australian Parliament, which was elected
on 29 March 1901. There were 75 members, as
required by the Constitution, as near as possible
to twice the number of Senators which was then 36.
South Australia and Tasmania had not been divided
into electoral divisions in 1901 which resulted in
the particular state voting as a single
electorate, with each elector casting seven votes.
The seven candidates with the highest votes were
elected.
