Retiring members

This section is an excerpt from 2025 Australian federal election § Retiring members.[ edit ]

The seats of Hinkler (Queensland) and Maribyrnong (Victoria) were vacant at the time the federal election was called, following the resignation of Keith Pitt (Nationals) and Bill Shorten (Labor) on 19 and 20 January 2025 respectively. No by-elections were held for the seats due to their proximity to the general election. [5] [6]

Notes

  1. 1 2 Candidates in this group were endorsed by the Socialist Equality Party, which does not have registered party status but still ran candidates as independents.
  2. ↑ While 'Culleton' is the correct spelling of his name, a typo in his nomination documents led to 'Cullerton' being listed on the ballot.
  3. ↑ Bradlow and Bock intended to run as "job sharing candidates". The AEC stated they would be required to reject the nomination, as electoral law does not allow two people to share a nomination for one seat.
