    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes an occasion like this one arises when the House has to make a precedent which will be quoted in future when similar occasions do arise. We can deal with the question which Members are raising around this issue, head on. What is the position of a Senator whose election has been nullified by the High Court, but the writs have not been issued by the Speaker? What is his status during that intervening period? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is an important question of law and custom. We will request you to take some time, study what the position is within the Commonwealth and jurisprudence and enlighten the House because, in future, this question might arise again. So, it is our request that you consider the matter in your own time and pronounce yourself on the same. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
