I have received the return to the writ which I issued on 26 October 2015 for the election of a member to serve for the electoral division of North Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the Hon. Joseph Benedict Hockey. By the endorsement on the writ, it is certified that Trent Moir Zimmerman has been elected.

Mr Trent Moir Zimmerman made and subscribed the affirmation of allegiance.

On behalf of the House, I welcome the new member for North Sydney.
