Member for Dunstan, Resignation

The SPEAKER (11:01): Before I call the Clerk, I have today received a letter from the Hon. Steven Marshall resigning his seat in the house. I will meet as soon as reasonably practicable with the Electoral Commissioner, who is for the moment in an Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission hearing. I will take all necessary advice, including from the commissioner, and return to the house at 4pm this Thursday 8 February 2024, with a writ for a by-election in the electoral district of Dunstan and, for the avoidance of doubt, will publish the by-election date at that time.

This statement to the house triggers certain provisions of the South Australian electoral law, particularly the need for certain parties to file certificates to access public funding by 5pm today, and I emphasise the importance of that deadline.
