Cause Category: Death
Notes: Caused by the death of sitting Nationalist MP William Cameron. Under the Coalition agreement, the Nationalist were entitled to the seat, so while the winning candidate Malcolm Brown ran with support from local Country party branches, he did not receive the offical endorsement of the Country Party or its leadership. However, Brown joined the Country Party once he entered Parliament.
