Members of the Queensland Legislative Council, 1910–1916
This is a list of members of the Queensland Legislative Council from 1 January 1910 to 31 December 1916. Appointments, made by the Governor of Queensland , were for life, although many members for one reason or another resigned.
The Labor Party had a major win in the Legislative Assembly at the 1915 election , and proceeded with their stated goal of abolishing the Legislative Council by introducing legislation to that effect in 1916, which of course was defeated by the non-Labor majority Council. By the end of 1916, the membership had fallen from 44 to 37 members as the government had only appointed one new member in two years.
