This is the full list of members of the House of Representatives elected on December 1, 1984.
The election saw the Hawke government win its second term in office. In an enlarged 148-seat House, the ALP won 82 seats (+7), the Liberal Party 45 (+12) and the National Party 21 (+4). It was only the second enlargement of the House since 1901. It had previously been increased from 75 to 125 in 1949.
The 34th Parliament was the second of four terms for the Hawke ALP government and the second of five terms for the Hawke-Keating years. The term lasted until July 1987 when a double dissolution was held.
There was just one by-election during the life of the 34th Parliament. The ALP’s Harry Jenkins Sr. was replaced by his son Harry Jenkins Jr. in the electorate of Scullin. Accordingly, there are 149 members listed below.
There are 99 (66%) of these 149 former members still living. There are 57 from the ALP, 29 Liberals and 13 Nationals.
