Abstract

In 'Re Culleton [No 2] ', the High Court of Australia, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, considered whether a vacancy existed in the representation of Western Australia in the Senate for the place held by Senator Rodney Culleton. The Court found that, by virtue of s 44(ii) of the 'Australian Constitution', Culleton was 'incapable of being chosen' as a senator as he was subject to be sentenced, and that a Senate vacancy consequently existed. This case note explains the Court's reasoning and considers the effects of this decision.
