However I want to emphasise here at the beginning that Mayo should not be abolished because the region it represents has historical, geographical, cultural and economic coherence and unity (AND ongoing vitality) which it would be foolish to unravel. At a time when this region is attracting world interest for its collective signature in premium-quality agricultural and viticultural production, and when its bid for UNESCO world heritage recognition is slowly gaining traction, it would be heart-rending to residents for the region to be removed from the nation's electoral map. The region would be reassigned to the margins of formal political activity (which is surely the antithesis of sensible planning for a healthy democracy?). I speak from the heart not only as a rural constituent of this complicated electoral mix of rural and city- fringe residents, but as a long-term volunteer member of the Oakbank-Balhannah CFS brigade. In the CFS (region 1) we give our all for this place, and I would expect that commitment to be considered seriously as you rework the federal electoral map of South Australia. To the Redistribution Committee for South Australia, I write to make suggestions to the South Australian Federal Redistribution currently being undertaken by the Australian Electoral Commission.

I am a constituent of the seat of Mayo, and believe there are many reasons why MAYO should remain as it is, and not be abolished in this redistribution process. Mayo consists of multiple Local Council communities (including Adelaide Hills, Mount Barker, Kangaroo Island, etc) all with common interests. These Local Councils engage and collaborate closely with our Federal member who is able to represent a consistent view to parliament. Disbanding this collection of communities and splitting them across other electorates which don't have the same interests or challenges would be a retrograde step. These areas of common interest and business, such as horticulture, food and wine (there are 7 wine districts in Mayo) are best represented by someone who understands the issues they are facing, rather than being represented by someone based in the metropolitan area. At the last federal election, the results for the seat of MAYO show a consistent vote for our current independent Federal Member, Rebekha Sharkie. I believe this shows a desire across the region for an independent voice in Federal Parliament.

Our Suggestions Submission comprises of the following: 1. A written submission with a summary of suggestions, commentary on the methodology we have used in formulating them, the suggestions in detail as summarised by mapping software tracking movements between divisions. We would like to take the opportunity to thank the Commission’s staff for their assistance to date. Yours sincerely, Sascha Meldrum State Director 2 OVERVIEW This Suggestions Submission is made in response to the Australian Electoral Commissioner’s invitation to members of the public to submit written suggestions about the redistribution of federal electoral boundaries in South Australia. The Liberal Party acknowledges that South Australia will decrease its representation from 11 to 10 Federal Electoral Divisions. We note that in making the proposed redistribution, the Redistribution Committee is required by the Act to: 1. Ensure the number of electors in each proposed electoral division must not deviate by more than 10 per cent above or below the current enrolment quota. The current enrolment quota for South Australia was determined by the Electoral Commissioner to be 119,503. 2. As far as practicable, the Redistribution Committee will ensure that the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division at 20 January 2022 (the projection time) will not deviate by more than 3.5 per cent above or below the projected enrolment quota of 122,731.
