The OP is strangely quiet on the retrospective legislation the QLD Labor government is introducing to prevent the second choice from taking over as mayor of Rockhampton.

Mmmmm so what happens to independents that die in office cods?

I can understand it in the Senate where all people standing are in a state wide vote so next in line is offered the job,

but not in individual electorates like in the HOR

Had you thought of that?  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Mmmm doesnt see like you have!! Grin



TOUGH...

Grin Grin Grin

I dont know do you??.. I am sure an independent has resigned or died whilst in parliament.....I mean it does mean the votes go down...if they are not replaced doesnt it?.....

so what is so disturbing about no bye elections I mean they cost a fortune  can we afford that any more.....I am sure it works for you if it means getting rid of a Lib....but is that DECOCRACY? Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

better ask js or bam.

So they're exploring ways to avoid by-elections.

If they could come up with a formula like when it's a safe seat and how much time before the next election, maybe be a good idea.

Actually, on that case I think the Qld govt. should butt out. Sure, according to what i read he said he only ran as a joke, but still he won. She doesn't have to like the result. She just has to abide by the result

Actually thinking about it , its a dogs breakfast of an idea!

1 Firstly what is a safe seat?  if it only applied to that!

And safe for which side? Both sides ?

2 If the seat was held by an independent what rules would apply?

Nah sounds like nonsense despite the cost!
