  • The ACT Election 2016: Back to the Future?
    The ACT election 2016: back to the future? Terry Giesecke 17 February 2017 DOI: 10.4225/50/58a623512b6e6 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this paper are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the view of APO. Copyright/Creative commons license: Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 3.0 (CC BY-NC 3.0 AU) 12 pages Overview This resource is a summary of the outcome of the ACT election, held in October 2016. It was an unusual election, in that it saw little movement in party support from the previous election in 2012 and no fringe parties or candidates were elected. The main issues were the construction of a tramline, the implementation of tax reform, the demolition of over one thousand houses to resolve asbestos contamination and allegations of corruption. The ACT Election 2016: Back to the future? The ACT election on October 15 was more of a 1950s or 1960s election. In that era little movement occurred from one election to the next. In 1967 political scientist Don Aitkin wrote, “Most Australians have a basic commitment to one or other of the major parties, and very few change their mind from one election to the other”1. Not so today. In the last few years Australia has experienced three one term State/Territory Governments, huge swings from election to election and the rapid rise and fall of new parties. So why was the ACT different? The ACT election saw a swing of 0.5 per cent against the governing ALP and their partner the Greens and a 2.2 per cent swing against the opposition Liberals.

Box 4082 Scullin HAWKER ACT 26I4 Weetangera [email protected] Hawker 0435 534 998 Mr Mick Gentleman, MLA ACT Minister for Planning and Land Management By email: [email protected] cc: Members of the ACT Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal – Ms Caroline Le Couteur, Ms Tara Cheyne, Ms Suzanne Orr, Ms Nicole Lawder, Mr James Milligan. Dear Mr Gentleman, CLASSIFICATION OF BLOCKS IN RZ1 AND RZ2 The Friends of Hawker Village (FoHV) is a community group covering the four catchment suburbs surrounding the Hawker Village Centre. Over the past few years, we have raised concerns about the excessive redevelopment of random blocks in both RZ1 and RZ2 that were originally developed over a short period from about 1968 to 1971. These blocks have the appearance of a single dwelling block but the single building contains a two-bedroomed residence with attached one-bedroomed flat. These buildings occur on blocks scattered randomly throughout these two zones and are notable for the fact that they were designed so as to retain the appearance of an ordinary single dwelling house such that they blended into a uniform landscape. Nonetheless, they are now treated under the Territory Plan as multi-unit housing blocks. These buildings differ from ordinary duplexes or other dual occupancies in that: a. the blocks are not gathered together in a designated area; b. the dwellings are not similar in size; c. the building does not obviously contain more than one dwelling; d. only one front entrance is visible at any time and from any vantage point; and e.
