The New Ingrea general election of 1929 was held on Saturday, 29 March 1930. The election saw the Liberals, now led by William Burdett, manage to win with a reduced majority in the House of Assembly. Country, with a new leader in Donald Burleigh, abandon the philosophy of social credit in favour of agrarian conservatism, and are rewarded by leapfrogging the declining Conservatives in to Official Opposition status. Labour manage a handy recovery, chiefly at the expense of the Liberals.
