26 Criteria for deciding whether to issue writs
In deciding whether a writ for a general election should be issued
under section 24 or 25, the Administrator must consider whether a
viable alternative Government can be formed without a general
election and, in so doing, must have regard to any motion passed
by the Legislative Assembly expressing confidence in an alternative
Government in which a named person would be Chief Minister.
