The <entity_0> was a <entity_4> for the electorate of Onslow during the 30th <entity_3> Parliament. In <entity_2> Combs announced he would retire at the <entity_1> later that year owing to ill health. The government intended it to coincide with the upcoming Patea <entity_4>, even passing the Patea By-election Act <entity_1> to postpone it until the day of the Onslow <entity_4>. As a <entity_1> was due towards the end of <entity_1> (and was held on 13 November), the nominated Labour candidate <entity_5> was not opposed, so was declared elected (from midday on <entity_2>) when the writs closed for candidates.
