The election was the first electoral test of the Country and Progressive National Party government led by Arthur Edward Moore, and was held in the midst of the Great Depression. Labor had previously held office from 1915 until 1929.
The election resulted in the defeat of the one-term Moore government by the Labor Party, led by William Forgan Smith.
