I inform the House that on Friday, 31 August 2018 I received a letter from the Hon. Malcolm Bligh Turnbull resigning his seat as the member for the electoral division of Wentworth.
An opposition member: I'd go to New York too!
You'll be going out of the chamber; you won't be going to New York. Consideration is being given to possible dates for the by-election, and I will be consulting with party leaders on this matter during the course of this week. I will inform the House in due course of the dates which I have fixed for the by-election.
