Notes: Hughes and Graham (1975) list Chapman as a Progressive, but he never appeared in any selected list. The SMH listed him as an Independent Opposition candidate, while the Telegraph listed him as an Independent at all times. The Telegraph's classification has been adopted given Chapman's past history as a Free Trade candidate. The Telegraph's classification of Foran as an non-selected Ministerial candidate has also been adopted.
