Mudgee Labor MLA Bill Dunn and Liverpool Plains Labor 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 Labor 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 Labor 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.
Bill Dunn rejoined the party and successfully re-contested, the Mudgee by-election on 16 August 1911.
Henry Horne did not re-contest the Liverpool Plains by-election on 16 August 1911 which was won by Liberal candidate, John Perry by three votes. This result was overturned on appeal and at the second by-election on 28 October, Labor candidate, William Ashford was successful.
Maitland Independent Liberal MLA John Gillies died on 23 September 1911. The by-election on 28 October was won by Liberal candidate Charles Nicholson.
Donald Macdonell, automatically expelled for non-attendance while unwell was re-elected unopposed in the Cobar by-election on 7 October, but died three weeks later. The Labor candidate, Charles Fern, was unopposed at the by-election on 16 December.
