This paper is not professional legal opinion. Introduction This publication provides detailed two-party and two-candidate preferred results by polling place for the 2015 New South Wales election. The publication is the latest in a series first published by the Parliamentary Library after the 1991 election and is a companion to "2015 New South Wales Election: Analysis of Results", (Background Paper No 1/2015). As well as two-party and two-candidate preferred results, several tables of first preference results by polling place are provided on pages 1 to 9. These tables highlight polling places across the state where selected registered parties recorded their highest and lowest percentage first preference vote. The tables exclude most Declared Institution and Sydney Town Hall count centres. On page 10 are two tables that provide a breakdown of results by vote type. The first table provides percentage first preference, informal and two-party preferred vote by party by vote type for the 2015 election. The second table shows the changing proportion of vote recorded by vote type at New South Wales elections since 1984. This table highlights the declining proportion of the vote taken on polling day as well as the rise in postal and pre-poll voting. Two-Candidate versus Two-Party Preferred results. The two-candidate preferred count in a contest is defined as the final tally of votes for the two remaining candidates in a contest after the successive distribution of preferences from excluded candidates. In most cases, the final pairing of candidates will represent a contest between the Labor Party and the Liberal-National Party Coalition, a pairing that is also referred as a two-party preferred count. At the 2015 election there were 77 electorates where the two-candidate preferred count was also the two-party preferred count between Labor and Coalition candidates. The remaining 16 electorates produced six Liberal-Green contests (Davidson, Manly, North Shore, Pittwater, Vaucluse, Willoughby), three Labor-Green contests (Balmain, Newtown, Summer Hill), two National-Green contests (Ballina, Lismore), two National-Independent contests (Murray, Tamworth), two Labor- Independent contests (Lake Macquarie, Wollongong) and one Liberal-Independent contest (Sydney). A full summary of two-party and two-candidate preferred results by electorate can be found on pages 31-33 of "2015 New South Wales Election: Analysis of Results", (Background Paper No 1/2015). This publication contains actual two-candidate preferred results by polling place and vote type for all 93 electorates, as well as additional tables of actual two-party preferred results by polling place for the sixteen electorates that did not finish as two-party preferred contests. Changes to Counting Procedures The NSW Electoral Commission radically changed its counting procedures for the 2015 election. As in the past, initial counts were conducted by hand in polling places and in the various centres where declaration and pre-poll votes were counted. Indicative preference counts were also conducted in this initial phase. The major change in 2015 was the abandonment of the traditional manual check count. Instead, check counts were undertaken by data entering all lower house ballot papers. Once all ballot papers had been entered, the distribution of preferences and formal declaration of the poll was completed by computer. Having captured all ballot paper details, it was also possible for the Electoral Commission to carry out alternate two-party preferred counts without having to re-count the ballot papers. The results in this publication are drawn from the Electoral Commission's counting system. Reading the Tables Each table in this publication contains count information for each polling place, each pre-poll voting centre, as well as totals for the various categories of declaration votes. Totals are provided for ordinary polling day votes, for pre-poll votes and for declaration votes. Total votes and percentages after preferences are provided for each polling place or vote type, as well as a total of exhausted preferences, formal and informal votes.

  • Index to Marrickville Heritage Society Inc Newsletter Issn 0818-0695
    INDEX TO MARRICKVILLE HERITAGE SOCIETY INC NEWSLETTER ISSN 0818-0695 Vol 1 No 1 June 1984 To Vol 25 No 10 June 2009 Compiled by Robert Thompson The first issue of Marrickville Heritage Society’s Newsletter appeared in June 1984, just a short time after the formation of the Society. That first issue boldly declared itself to be vol 1 no 1. That we are now able to present an index to Volumes 1 to 25 is due to the determination and skill of each of the editors and contributors who have continued to produce a publication of such high quality. An early decision taken by members of the Society was that it should be an active organisation, rather than a remote one where members would simply pay their subscriptions and leave all the work to a committee. Because of its superb program of activities it has become a true ‘society’. The resulting comradeship has seen members working together to preserve not only the built environment of Marrickville but, perhaps more importantly, our social history as well. The story of Marrickville’s people is a vibrant, ongoing one in which each of us continues to play a part. And while members’ research will uncover and document more of our past, the initiatives and activities of Marrickville Heritage Society will ensure its relevance to a wider society, encouraging the protection of our heritage into the future. The Newsletter records each of our excursions and the speakers – from within and outside the Society – who have entertained and informed us; the fascinating, the horrifying and the sometimes bizarre in Marrickville’s unique story.

No.1 2012, ISSN 2013-6897 under the auspices of Coolabah Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Dancing with the Prime Minister Jennifer Jones Copyright © Jennifer Jones 2012. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged Abstract: When Ruby Langford Ginibi and her daughter Pearl prepared for the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball in 1968, they contributed to development of a significant new expression of Aboriginal identity and community belonging. Debutante balls were traditionally staged as a rite of passage that introduced a select group of young ladies to British high society. They went into decline in the UK in the late 1950s, under pressure from anti-establishment and sexual revolutions. The tradition remained popular in Australia, as the debutante ball had developed important status as fundraising events for local organisations. This article examines the history of Aboriginal girls ‘coming out’ at a debutante ball. While the inclusion of Aboriginal girls in debutante balls was encouraged as a means to achieve assimilation, proud celebration at all-Aboriginal events provoked controversy. Ruby Langford Ginibi’s reflection upon her daughter’s dance with the Australian Prime Minister at the 1968 Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball is instructive. It explains how an exclusive, sexist British ritual has been transformed into a vital, inclusive Aboriginal rite of passage and challenges non-Aboriginal readers to re-evaluate their assessment of the tradition.

  • Contaminant Chemistry and Toxicity of Sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: Spatial Extent and Chemistry–Toxicity Relationships
    Vol. 363: 71–87, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 15 doi: 10.3354/meps07445 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Contaminant chemistry and toxicity of sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: spatial extent and chemistry–toxicity relationships Gavin F. Birch1,*, Stephanie McCready1, Edward R. Long2, Stuart S. Taylor1, 3, Gina Spyrakis1 1School of Geosciences, Environmental Geology Group, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, 2006, Australia 2ERL Environmental, 3691 Cole Road South, Salem, Oregon 97306, USA 3URS, 116 Miller St., North Sydney, New South Wales, 2060, Australia ABSTRACT: The spatial distribution of chemical contamination and toxicity of surficial sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia, was investigated in a 3-tiered, hierarchical approach. An initial chemical investigation throughout the entire estuary (Stage 1) indicated wide ranges and different spatial patterns in sediment chemical concentrations. Sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used as a preliminary estimate of possible toxicity in Stage 2 of the investigation. Assessment of chemical mixtures indicated that sediments in a small part (~2%) of the harbour had the highest probability of being toxic (~75%), whereas sediment in almost 25% of the port was estimated to have an inter- mediate (~50%) probability of being toxic. The SQG assessment in Stage 2 enabled careful stratifica- tion of the harbour into areas with different toxicity risks, reducing cost and time commitments in the final tier of assessment. The spatial survey carried out in Stage 3 involved concurrent chemical and ecotoxicological analyses. In this final stage, the degree of response in tests of amphipod survival in whole sediment samples, as well as in tests of microbial metabolism (Microtox©) and sea urchin egg fertilisation and embryo development in pore waters, generally increased with increasing chemical concentrations.

However, like many large, capital ports world-wide, this environment has been exposed to relentless stress due to a rapidly increasing population density and extensive residential, commercial and industrial expansion. In this chapter, we explain why the coastal zone is such an important environment, especially for the people of Australia, and describe changes to the Sydney estuary as an example of environmental transformation due to anthropogenic pressure. The geologic development of the Sydney estuary is briefly traced, showing how the feature was eroded into the Hawkesbury Sandstone, mainly during low sea levels of the glacial periods.

You mean you’re doing an artist-in-residence in your own suburb? Yep. I’ve lived here for nearly two years. I wanted to be artist-in-residence in my own place, rather than going away somewhere exotic. Is it true you won’t leave Petersham for the whole two months? Yeah that’s right. I am restricting myself to stay within the suburb boundaries (as drawn up by Marrickville Council). Hey Lucas, I’m having a party/screening/exhibition/wedding…but it’s in Surry Hills/Newtown/Vaucluse/Stanmore. Can’t you make an exception just this once? Nope. Sorry.* Can I come and visit you? Sure thing! Where exactly are the borders of Petersham? Good question. See the map on the back page... O—K. Umm, so tell me again…WHY are you doing this?

  • Introduction
    Introduction In January 1997, two Sydney Morning Herald journalists produced a brief account of what they perceived to be the most important rock and roll sites in Sydney.1 Their sense of the city's rock histories extended to places of local mythology well beyond popular music's production and consumption: five star hotels as frantic sites of adoration of the Beatles ensconced within; psychiatric hospitals where career paths merged with psychosis; and migrant hostels as sites of cross-cultural ambitions. The article was a rare acknowledgement of the spaces and places of performersand fans' interaction. This thesis constitutes an extended response to the article's implicit desire to recognise alternative accounts of Australian popular music connected to broader city narratives. In analysing the rock music venues of Sydney as sites of interaction between musicians, fans and government, I am principally concerned with three interrelated themes: • The social construction of live performance venues from 1955 amidst the parallel construction of the performer and fan as an 'unruly' subject; • The industrial development of live performance: the live rock venue within commercial/economic structures; and • The dialectical tension of the above in reconciling the state's desire for manageable 'cultural citizens' with broader cultural policy (support for live rock and roll within arts policies). A more detailed explication of these strands is undertaken in Chapter One, in providing a theoretical overview of relations between popular culture and the state, and specific media/cultural/popular music studies approaches to cultural practice and policy. My personal interest in the histories of live rock venues parallels an increased 1 Jon Casimir and Bruce Elder, 'Beat streets - a guide to Sydney's rock and roll history', Sydney Morning Herald, 9th January, 1997, pp.29-30.
