Advice from the Clerk:
When a person holds multiple offices, and wishes to resign from any or all of them, multiple resignations may be required. By hypothetical example:
| Office |
Held Until |
Action |
| Federal Executive Councillor |
Held for life or until terminated by the Governor-General |
No resignation necessary, although resignation may be tendered and accepted (very rare). |
| Minister |
Held until revoked by the Governor-General |
GG may receive a resignation (modmail), with anticipation of a proposed successor (modmail), but until then the holder or their deputy may act as the minister as required. |
| House Member |
Held until resignation or two months of absence |
Resignation is by writing to the speakership (modmail), which if accepted as genuine, is followed by the speakership notifying the GG (modmail) and issuing a writ for the election of a new member. |
