Elections were held in the state of New South Wales Australia on Saturday 19 September 1981. The result was a second Wranslide: a landslide victory for the Australian Labor Party under Neville Wran in which the government increased its already sizeable majority.The Liberals suffered the double indignity of losing the seat contested by their leader Bruce McDonald to an independent and of being reduced to the same number of seats in parliament as their ostensible junior coalition partner.
