  • Parliamentary and Governing Agreement: 10Th Legislative
    1 2 Parliamentary and Governing Agreement 10th Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory This Agreement is between: Andrew Barr MLA, Leader of the Australian Labor Party ACT Branch, Yvette Berry MLA, Deputy Leader of the Australian Labor Party ACT Branch The ACT Labor MLAs elected for the 10th Assembly And Shane Rattenbury MLA, ACT Greens Leader The ACT Greens MLAs elected for the 10th Assembly Shared Progressive Principles and Values The ACT Labor and ACT Greens Parliamentary and Governing Agreement for the 10th Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly represents the parties’ shared commitment to serve the people of the ACT. We agree to the following key priorities and outcomes, working respectfully, constructively and collaboratively as a two-party Government to govern with, for and in the best interests of Canberrans. ACT Labor and the ACT Greens have, over two previous terms, demonstrated that we can work together in government to deliver the most progressive and reformist administration in Australia. This effective collaboration is built on trust, mutual respect and our many shared values and goals. This new Agreement comes at a defining moment in our Territory’s history, and outlines a strategy to address the major social, economic and environmental challenges society faces. Together, we will focus on the fundamental challenges and opportunities facing the ACT as we emerge from a global health and economic crisis: sustainable economic development, protection and creation of secure local jobs, a healthy natural environment, closing the gap for First Nations people, rapid transition to zero net emissions while protecting households, reducing inequality and poverty, providing dignified housing to all Canberrans, and governance with integrity and transparency.

  • 2016 ACT Election Capad Candidate Statements: Analysis at a Glance
    2016 ACT Election CAPaD Candidate Statements: analysis at a glance In 2016 CAPaD invited the candidates for the ACT election to introduce themselves to the electorate and to say why they felt they were suitable for the job of representing us in the Legislative Assembly. We hope you find this summary of the responses by those who were elected, about their perceived relationship with voters, informative. Conclusion In brief our MLAs understandably take a very traditional view of their representative relationship with voters. They are very much about being available for one-on-one interactions out and about on the hustings and by standard correspondence or email. There was some interest in social media but little interest in traditional media. Structured opportunities to meet constituents were also favoured. MLA initiated methods scored low. Interest in promoting or engaging through deliberative and participatory methods was mentioned by six of the MLAs. More detail follows. Response rates Overall: 62 of the 141 (44%) candidates submitted statements By success in being elected 14/25 (56%) of successful and 48/116 (41%) of the unsuccessful candidates By being elected by Party affiliation ALP: 25 candidates, 13 (52%) submitted statements; 7 (28% of all candidates and 54% of those who submitted statements) elected Liberal Party, 25 candidates, 10 (48%) submitted statements; 5 (20% of all candidates and 50% of those who submitted statements) elected The Greens, 15 candidates 13 (67%) submitted statements; of those 2 (13% of all candidates and

  • 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.
