Mudgee ALP MLA Bill Dunn and Liverpool Plains ALP MLA Henry Horne resigned from the Labor Party and Parliament on 25 July 1911 in protest at legislation on land ownership introduced by Lands Minister, Niels Nielsen. As a result the ALP was left without a majority in the house and rather than face a vote of no confidence, the Ministry and Speaker resigned. This forced the House to be prorogued with the result that Cobar ALP MLA, Donald Macdonell, who was unwell but expected to recover, was automatically expelled for non-attendance during an entire session. By the time of the subsequent by-elections, Labor policy had been reversed and Nielsen had left the ministry. Dunn rejoined the party and successfully re-contested, the Mudgee by-election on 16 August 1911. Horne did not re-contest the Liverpool Plains by-election which was won by Liberal candidate, John Perry by three votes on the same day. This result was overturned on appeal and at the second by-election on 28 October, ALP candidate, William Ashford was successful. In Cobar, Macdonell was unopposed when re-elected on 7 October, but died three weeks later. The ALP candidate, Charles Fern, was unopposed at the resultant by-election on 16 December. Denied further ministerial appointment Nielsen resigned from the seat of Yass and ALP candidate Greg McGirr won the resultant by-election on 19 July 1913.
