2008 Cabramatta state by-election
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Cabramatta on 18 October 2008 to coincide with the Lakemba, Port Macquarie and Ryde by-elections. The Cabramatta by-election was triggered by the resignation of sitting member and former Health Minister Reba Meagher, after a spectacular series of events[citation needed] that saw both the Deputy Premier and the Premier resign.
The seat was retained by the Labor Party at the by-election, but with a sharp decline in the party's vote.
