Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly

**spspan class="mw-headline" id="Membership">Mitgliedschaft[edit]

Norfolk Legislative Assembly was the most important legislative organ of Norfolk Island from 1979 to 2015. Established after the adoption of the Norfolk Island Act 1979 in the Australia House of Representatives, the first members were appointed on 10 August 1979[1] The last Assembly was the Fourteenth and was appointed on 13 March 2013[2][3] On 17 June 2015, the Australia authorities abrogated the Assembly and ended self-government on the island.

The Norfolk Island Regional Council, a highly limited power territorial authority, was set up in July 2016 to run the island's administration at a municipal scale. It consisted of 9 members chosen for a three-year period of office. A referendum was held to elect the Assembly for a maximum three years.

The nine residences were all owned by independent people because Norfolk Island did not have any large partying. But there was a grassroots affiliate of the Australian Labour Party. Snell' s ouvertures and a non-binding island plebiscite were without success, and the Assembly last convened on 17 June 2015.

Following a transitional time of more than a year, the creation of the Norfolk Island Regional Council on 1 July 2016 formally restored the authority of the Norfolk Island Regional Council, while the Commonwealth continues to rule the island in all but locally.
