Moncrieff by-election, June 2019

The Moncrieff by-election, June 2019, is a by-election triggered by the ejection of Liberal MP PineappleCrusher_ for inactivity in the Division of Moncrieff. It will be held on 15 June 2019, at the same time as the Sydney by-election, June 2019.

Background
On 29 May 2019, it was ruled that PineappleCrusher_ had contravened the Parliamentarian Participation Overhaul Act 2019 and was expelled from Parliament by the High Court of Australia. This came alongside the similar expulsion of his colleague stalintwo, MP for Sydney. PineappleCrusher_ had been referred to the High Court earlier over inactivity, alongside MP for Nicholls, AnswerMeNow1, but was cleared due to not reaching the necessary threshold for judicial referral.
