Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Cook's River on Saturday, 12 December 1959 and was triggered by the death in office of the Premier of New South Wales, Joseph Cahill (Шаблон:Australian politics/name).[1][2]

The seat was subsequently retained for the Labor Party by his eldest son Tom.[3][4] Despite Cook's River being a safe Labor seat, the Liberal Party fielded a candidate, John Bampton, a soap manufacturer.[5] The Labor primary vote improved by 1.6% compared to the previous year's general election.[1][6] The Communist Party of Australia stood Wal Buckley, an organiser for the Amalgamated Engineering Union, but only gained 4.6% of the vote.[7][8]
