Mr Limbrick
Resignation
The PRESIDENT (13:09): I bring to the attention of the house the resignation of a member of the Council. I have received a letter from the Governor advising that on Monday, 11 April 2022, she had received a written resignation from Mr David Limbrick as a member of the Victorian Legislative Council. I have also received a letter from Mr Limbrick notifying me that he intends to seek election in the federal Parliament and that if he fails to secure that election he intends to again become the candidate for the vacant seat in the Legislative Council. I note that pursuant to section 62 of the Electoral Act 2002 a joint sitting to fill Mr Limbrick’s vacancy must be delayed until the result of the commonwealth election has been officially declared.
