Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council, 1898–1901


This is a list of members of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1898 to 1901. At this time the Council was composed of individuals appointed for life by the Governor on the advice of the Premier. This list includes members between the 1898 colonial election on 27 July 1898 and the 1901 state election on 3 July 1901.
Non-Labor party affiliations at this time were fluid, and especially in the Legislative Council regarded more as loose labels than genuine parties.
