This is a list of members of the 34th Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 19 May 1956 to 3 August 1957, as elected at the 1956 state election held on 19 May 1956. [1]
The term was cut short by a split within the governing Labor Partyβthe Premier, Vince Gair, and all but one of his ministers were expelled from the Party on 24 April 1957. He and 25 members of Parliament formed the Queensland Labor Party on 26 April, whilst the remaining Labor members became the main Opposition party and elected Jack Duggan as leader. Gair continued as Premier but could not obtain supply from the Parliament, so an election was called.
