- 3 On 10 July 1943, Labor member Dr John Gaha, one of the three members for Hobart, resigned to successfully contest the federal seat of Denison at the 1943 election. Labor candidate Arthur Tyler won the resulting by-election on 14 September 1943 by a margin of three votes, and the unsuccessful candidate successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to void the election. Tyler won a second by-election on 22 January 1944 by a 211-vote margin against a different opponent.
