  • 8 Australian Labor Party
    Australian Labor Party - Victorian Branch – Submission 13 Calwell/McEwen/Bendigo: 8 The Labor Party has continually made numerous references to the benefit of utilising local government boundaries to define community of interest when constructing boundaries for Federal Divisions in their Objections Submission to the proposed Victorian Federal electorate boundaries document. Yet the ALP rejects this when it objects to the Redistribution Committee’s decision to remove Craigieburn from McEwen and unite it with the other outer northern suburban areas within Calwell. The Commissions has redrawn Calwell so that it is identical to the City of Hume’s local government boundary. One would assume this would please the ALP as in their submission they have stated that: “The Committee’s reliance on municipal boundaries is sensible and supported.” - Objections to proposed Victorian Federal electorate boundaries, General Strategy chapter, page 1. and “As already stated, municipal boundaries are useful boundaries and do provide a basis for community of interest to be defined.” - Objections to proposed Victorian Federal electorate boundaries, Metropolitan Melbourne chapter, page 5. It is also interesting to note that the ALP’s own local Federal Member for Calwell, Ms Maria Vamvakinou MP, stated in the Hume-Moreland Leader on October 1 2002, that: “The AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) has obviously opted for municipal boundaries because Calwell mirrors the boundary of Hume Council. I have a good relationship with Hume Council and don’t feel I will inherit an area that will be unrelated or unknown”. It is clear that the ALP’s Objections Submission is trying to achieve something other than community of interest, when it ignores the Member for Calwell’s view that the area surrounding Craigieburn is not “unrelated” to the areas being uniting with the new draft boundaries proposed by the Committee.
