The PRESIDENT (14:44): Before I call on questions without notice, I remind members that having received a memorandum from Her Excellency the Governor notifying that a vacancy has happened in the representation of the state in the Senate of the Commonwealth, and pursuant to joint standing order No. 16, on 30 January 2025 I summoned members of the council and the House of Assembly to a joint sitting of the houses in the Legislative Council chamber at 12.30pm on Thursday 6 February 2025 for the purpose of choosing a person to fill the vacancy in the Senate caused by the resignation of Senator the Hon. Simon Birmingham.
