Paul Sworn-in as Member for Bradfield

On 2 February 2010, the Speaker of the House of Representatives announced that he had received returns to the writ which he had issued on 30 October 2009 for the election of a Member to serve for the electoral division of Bradfield, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr Brendan Nelson. By the endorsement on the writ, it was certified that Paul William Fletcher had been elected as the Member to serve for the division of Bradfield.

Paul then made and subscribed the oath of allegiance as required by law.
