The Curse of Lamport or Speakership curse was an 18 month period beginning in October, 2018 where - following the election of Speaker Lamport to the Senate - no one was able to complete a full term as Speaker without resigning or being dismissed by the House. While Speaker J.G.T. Webb and Valerie both came close to the record, the curse was finally broken by Speaker John Smith in April, 2020.
