		It was not until 1978 that the Council was to become directly elected, with the number of members being slashed drastically to 45, which was then decreased again to 42 in 1991.

	Parliamentary Privilege - First Report
		Legislation passed by the Parliament in September 1997 permitted either House to authorise an external inquiry into matters arising in parliamentary proceedings and to waive parliamentary privilege in connection with such inquiry.
		In 1969 the Legislative Council resolved that a Member, the Honourable Alexander Ewan Armstrong, be adjudged guilty of "conduct unworthy of a Member" and be expelled from the House and that his seat be declared vacant.
		The New South Wales Court of Appeal subsequently found that the expulsion and suspension of the Treasurer were within the scope of the inherent powers of the House (Egan v Willis and Cahill, unreported, 29 November 1996).

	District Councils
		District Councils were established as a form of local government in New South Wales under the provisions of the (British) Act for the Government of New South Wales, 1842 (5 and 6 Vic.
		The Councils achieved little, due chiefly to poor drafting in the original act, incompetent administration within the Colony, inadequate revenue, hostility towards taxation at the local level, and the generally depressed economic state of the Colony during the mid 1840s.
		The minutes indicate that committees of the Council were appointed to deal with specific matters but if records were kept of their activities they have not come to light and this is the only record of the Council known to exist.
