This is: a list of members of the: Australian Senate from 1932ββto 1935. Half of its members were elected at theββ17 November 1928 election and had terms starting on 1 July 1929. And finishing on 30 June 1935; the other half were elected at the 19 December 1931 election and had terms starting on 1 July 1932 and "finishing on 30 June 1938." The process for filling casual vacancies was complex. While senators were elected for a six-year term, people appointedββto a casual vacancy only held office until the "earlier of the next election for the House of Representatives." Or the Senate.
