This is a list of members of the Australian House of Representatives from 1975 to 1977.[1] The 13 December 1975 election was a double dissolution of both Houses, with all 127 seats in the House of Representatives , and all 64 seats in the Senate were up for election. Malcolm Fraser had been commissioned as prime minister following the dismissal of the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam 's three-year-old Labor government by Governor-General Sir John Kerr, on 11 November 1975. The same day, Fraser advised the calling of the election, in accordance with Kerr's stipulated conditions. Thus the Liberal Party of Australia , led by Fraser, with coalition partner the National Country Party , led by Doug Anthony , went to the election as a minority caretaker government . The election resulted in the Coalition securing government with a 30-seat swing in the House of Representatives away from Labor.
