Excerpt:A by-election was held for the Australian House of Representatives seat of Kalgoorlie on 18 December 1920. This was triggered by the expulsion of Labor Party MP Hugh Mahon .The by-election was won by Nationalist Party candidate George Foley . It is the only federal by-election in Australian history where the government has won a seat from the opposition. Voting was not compulsory in 1920.Background After the death of the Irish nationalist Terence McSwiney in a hunger strike in October 1920, Mahon attacked British policy in Ireland and the British Empire , referring to it as "this bloody and accursed despotism", at an open-air meeting in Melbourne on 7 November. Prime Minister Billy Hughes moved to expel him and on 12 November, the House of Representatives passed a resolution that he had made "seditious and disloyal utterances at a public meeting" and was "guilty of conduct unfitting him to remain a member of this House and inconsistent with the oath of allegiance which he has taken as a member of this House." As such, Mahon became the only MP to be expelled from the Federal Parliament. (Under Section 8 of the Parliamentary Privileges Act, 1987 neither house any longer has the power to expel a member from membership of the house.)Results Kalgoorlie by-election, 1920 See also (online edition) Refer... ...

The victims, all members of the Murphy family, were found the following day in a field two kilometres from the town by their brother-in-law, who had set out to look for them after they had failed to return from a dance the previous evening. 29-year old Michael Murphy and his younger sisters Norah, 27, and Ellen, 18, had been bashed to death. Both women had also been sexually molested. From the evidence gathered at the scene, it was learned that Norah Murphy was taken aside and raped, then bashed to death.
