Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum
132. This section partially based on the corresponding section of the Australian Constitution, provides the Manager General in Council or the Speaker shall be responsible for issuing writs for the election of a new member in the event of a vacancy in the House of Ordinaries.
133. However, the main difference between this section and the corresponding section of the Australian Constitution is that there is an option for the House elect the replacement member rather than being referred to the electors. This allows for co-option of members of Parliament. However, the election for a new member must be referred to the electoral division where the vacancy was caused by the removal of the member as a director. This protects the rights of members of electoral divisions in being able to select their replacement.
