By-elections to the 26th Australian Parliament

By-elections to the 26th Australian Parliament were held to fill vacancies in the House of Representatives between February and April 2023. The Liberal National Party of Australia led a government in coalition with the Australian National Capitalist Anti-Authoritarian Party, until three LNP MPs and one ANCAP MP lost their seat, losing their majority.

Background
Trees, Moncrieff MP and first leader and co-founder of the Australian National Capitalist Anti-Authoritarian Party, was banned on 9 February 2023, initially for 28 days for posting NSFW content on the Discord server. After making inappropriate comments in response, his ban was extended to permanent.

Due to inactivity in voting and debating, the Member for Canberra, ZedBear01 of the opposition Commonwealth Party of Australia, was ejected from Parliament on 17 March 2023. Likewise, but only in voting, the Member for Cowper, TheOutstandingRandom of the Liberal National Party of Australia was ejected from Parliament.

Due to inactivity in voting and debating, the Member for Nicholls, ahri_ah of the LNP, was ejected from Parliament on 24 March 2023. The Member for Robertson, OtidabF1 of the LNP, was also initially announced on the same review as ejected, but this ruling was overturned upon appeal two days later.

Results
The Government kept one seat by their side, as banned Moncrieff MP Trees was replaced by long-time LNP member Kisakuwu.

Cowper and Nicholls, both seats held by the LNP, went to former LNP leader–turned–independent riley8583 and centre–left independent showstealer1829, respectively.

The Government clinched one seat, as Commonwealth's ZedBear01, MP for Canberra, was replaced by ANCAP's MediocreCentrist14.
