  • E-Electioneering 2007–2013: Trends in Online Political Campaigns Over Three Elections
    E-electioneering 2007–2013: Trends in online political campaigns over three elections Jim Macnamara University of Technology Sydney Gail Kenning University of Technology Sydney Following the 2004 US presidential election campaign, which was described as ‘a critical turning point’ in use of social media, and particularly the 2008 Obama campaign, there has been increasing focus on use of social media for political campaigning and what is termed e- electioneering and e-democracy. However, studies of election campaigns between 2010 and 2012 in a number of countries have identified what Steve Woolgar (2002) calls cyberbole in relation to social media for political engagement. With substantive patterns of change in political communication yet to be identified, a quantitative and qualitative study of social media use in the 2013 Australian federal election campaign was conducted using the same methodology as studies of the 2007 and 2010 campaigns to gain comparative longitudinal data. This identified trends in the volume of e-electioneering and the ways in which social media are being used for political communication and democratic engagement. Introduction Even though Australia has compulsory voting, which means that voter mobilisation is not a primary election campaign strategy (Gibson, Lusoli and Ward , 2008), Australian political parties and candidates have followed international trends in embracing the Web and social media for encouraging voter participation and election campaigning, as shown by Chen (2008), Flew and Wilson (2008), Gibson, Lusoli and Ward (2008), Gibson and McAllister (2008), Gibson and Ward (2008), Goot (2008), Macnamara (2008, 2011) and others. Xenos and Moy described the 2004 US presidential election as ‘a critical turning point’ when online politics ‘finally reached a mainstream audience’ (2007: 704).

  • The Australian Labor Party's Campaign
    11 The Australian Labor Party’s Campaign Rob Manwaring The Australian Labor Party (ALP) was widely expected to lose the 2016 federal election, and, true to the predictions, it did. However, the party greatly exceeded expectations and came tantalisingly close to securing office, after one term in opposition following the 2013 defeat. After a number of recounts in marginal seats, the Liberal–National Coalition secured just a single-seat victory. This chapter offers a critical overview of the ALP’s campaign during the election. It sets out the broad contours of the party’s campaign strategy, its policy agenda and its State- level campaign performance. The chapter concludes by locating the position of the ALP in a comparative context, especially with the wider decline and issues facing many centre-left parties in similar advanced industrial societies. To evaluate Labor’s performance in 2016, this chapter locates the ALP’s results in the wider ‘opposition’ literature. There is a wide range of academic literature that seeks to explain the role and performance of opposition parties in different political regimes (Dahl 1966; Jaensch 1994; Jaensch, Brent and Bowden 2004; McAllister 2002; Schlesinger 1994). This literature offers insights into how oppositions can win office (e.g. Downs 1957: 137). Recent work by Tim Bale (2010), drawing upon the work of Stuart Ball (2005: 4–5), offers a sound framework for applying this to the case of the ALP in 2016. Bale (and Ball’s) work focuses on the key factors 257 DOUBLE DISILLUSION that can help explain why opposition parties can get elected.

  • Composition of the 45Th Parliament: a Quick Guide
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2016–17 29 AUGUST 2016 Composition of the 45th Parliament: a quick guide Hannah Gobbett Politics and Public Administration Section Key points • This paper provides a brief overview of the party and gender composition of the 45th Parliament of Australia. • A double dissolution election was held on 2 July 2016 whereby all seats in the House of Representatives and Senate were up for election. All seats in both Chambers were declared by the Australian Electoral Commission prior to the return of the writs on 8 August 2016 and the 45th Parliament of Australia will be opened on 30 August 2016. • Following various resignations, retirements and leadership changes this was the first election campaign for the leaders of the major parliamentary parties (Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Deputy Prime Minister and The Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, and Opposition leader and Australian Labor Party (ALP) leader Bill Shorten) as well as Australian Greens leader Richard Di Natale. • The incumbent Turnbull Coalition Government experienced a national swing against it of 3.13 per cent, and now has a total of 76 seats in the House of Representatives, down from 90 seats in the previous Parliament. • The ALP increased its number of seats in the House of Representatives from 55 to 69; two Independents (Cathy McGowan and Andrew Wilkie), one Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) member (Bob Katter), and one Australian Greens member (Adam Bandt) were re-elected; and a new minor party MP, Rebekha Sharkie (Nick Xenophon Team (NXT)) was elected to the House. • Party representation in the Senate has changed from the 44th Parliament: Coalition parties now have 30 Senators (down from 33) and the ALP 26 (up from 25).

She was appointed Minister for Youth and Sport after the 2007 election and served as Minister for the Status of Women and Minister for Employment Participation in the Gillard Government. Ellis remained on the frontbench after the 2013 election defeat until March 2017 when she announced that she would not contest the upcoming election.
