  • 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.

Conclusion 247 Bibliography 251 Appendices 260 i Abstract While all houses of Australian parliaments using proportional representation use the Single Transferable Vote arrangement, district magnitudes (the numbers of members elected per division) and requirements for casting a formal vote vary considerably. Early chapters of this thesis analyse election results in search for distinct patterns of proportionality, the numbers of effective parties and partisan advantage under different conditions. This thesis argues that while district magnitude remains the decisive factor in determining proportionality (the higher the magnitude, the more proportional the system), ballot paper numbering requirements play a more important role in determining the number of (especially) parliamentary parties. The general pattern is that, somewhat paradoxically, the more freedom voters have to choose their own preference allocations, or lack of them, the smaller the number of parliamentary parties. Even numbered magnitudes in general, and six member divisions in particular, provide some advantage to the Liberal and National Parties, while the Greens are disadvantaged in five member divisions as compared to six or seven member divisions.

  • ACT Election Analysis 16 October 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: ACT Election Analysis 16 October 2020 Overview The Australian Capital Territory election will be held on 17 October. All 25 seats of the Legislative Assembly are in contention with a total of 137 candidates contesting them. The Labor Party has been in government since 2001, currently led by Andrew Barr. He will be contesting his third general election as the Chief Minister. The unicameral Parliament uses the Hare-Clark voting system. The system provides proportional representation (like the Australian Senate) using preferential voting (like the Australian House of Representatives). This system involves counting the first preference votes of each candidate against a quota which is determined by the number of valid votes against vacancies. Once a candidate reaches the quota, they are determined to be elected and their surplus votes are distributed to the continuing candidates according to preference flows. There are five districts in the ACT and each has five representatives in the Legislative Assembly. As at 15 October 2020, pre-polling surpassed 50 per cent of enrolment, as many ACT residents utilise the COVID safe Electronic Voting Centres for pre-poll. Polling According to polling by a uComms survey of 1048 residents across the ACT in July, Labor is set to secure a minority government with a reduced primary vote. Labor’s primary vote is at 37.5 per cent. The Liberals will receive an increase of 1.5 per cent from the 2016 election to take their primary vote to 38.2 per cent. The Greens are predicted to secure a primary vote of 14.6 per cent.

  • The ACT Election 2020: It Wasn't Time the ACT Election Between 28
    The ACT Election 2020: It wasn’t time The ACT election between 28 September and October 17 resulted in the ALP receiving 37.8 per cent of the vote, 0.6 less than in 2016, the Liberals 33.8 per cent, down 2.9 with the Greens on 13.5 per cent, up 3.2. The ALP lost two seats, the Liberals two while the Greens picked up four. It was the Greens best result since 2008 when they got a record 15.6 per cent. While the ALP vote appears to be stable the result masks substantial shifts in its support from electorate to electorate. As a result the ALP ended up with 10 seats, the Liberals 9 and the Greens 6. The ALP and Greens renewed their coalition and remained in government, an arrangement that has been in place since 2008. The Election context 2016 to 2020 The Liberals changed their leader after the 2016 election, Alistair Coe replacing Jeremy Hanson The tram or light rail project, one of the primary issues of the 2016 election, was completed without major problems (a bit late but under budget) and proved popular with commuters The Covid 19 pandemic impacted on the ACT as it did everywhere but not as severely. It did change campaigning activities to some extent The Canberra Times when under the ownership of Nine Entertainment seemed to run an anti ACT government line but this was moderated when taken over by Australian Community media A free newspaper City News became very pro Liberal in the lead up to the election Jon Stanhope a former ALP Chief Minister (2001 to 2011) became a trenchant critic of current Chief Minister Andrew Barr and the
