A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Kogarah on 22 October 1983. It was triggered by the resignation of sitting Labor MP Bill Crabtree who had been dropped as Minister for Police and Minister for Services.[1]
The Kogarah by-election was held the same day as the by-elections for Maroubra, Marrickville and Riverstone. All were safe Labor seats and while there was a swing against Labor in each seat (7.2% to 11.8%), all were retained by Labor.[2]
