An Oasis in Byron Shire: Factors in the Progress and Success of a Local Greens Party Adam N. Smith School for International Training Australia: Conservation and Resource Management Byron Bay, Australia December 2005 Sandra Heilpern, Advisor Byron-Ballina Greens Peter Brennan, Academic Director Abstract The Greens in Byron Shire on the North Coast of New South Wales gained four of ten seats on the Shire Council including the mayoral position in 2004, giving them a strong voice in the direction of the Shire. This degree of local success is incredibly rare for the Australian Greens or for any third party, and thus, the example of the Byron Greens is a significant case for anyone involved with local politics in Byron or anyone who is involved with third parties, specifically with the Greens. -
Promoting Public Deliberation in Low Trust Environments: Australian Use Cases
Promoting Public Deliberation in Low Trust Environments: Australian Use Cases Liam Lander1 and Nichola Cooper2 1 Charles Sturt University, Melbourne, Australia 2Centre for the Future, Melbourne, Australia [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. A vacuum of public trust in Australia has met with the maturation of technologically competent constituents. Changing sociopolitical attitudes and perceived government corruption and inefficiency have effected demands for accountability and transparency. Two responses are visible: the digitisation of government services and original models of digital democracy. This paper dis- cusses the role distributed ledger technology plays in decentralised governance in Australia. Keywords: Trust, blockchain, distributed ledger, technology, democracy, open data, government. 1 Introduction ‘A sense of the future is behind all good politics. Unless we have it, we can give nothing - either wise, or decent to the world.’ [4] There are notable trends becoming visible to even the casual Australian observer: the widening of class structures, deepening mistrust in authority, the increasing penetra- tion of more complex technology and living services that provide design solutions for operational or governance-related problems. The concurrent development of secure transmission architecture on accessible platforms creates a solutions environment that begins to address the primary obstacle to public engagement with authority and arte- facts thus far: trust. Increased voter cynicism, symptomatic of the politics of trust,1 changing patterns of media consumption, the heightened exposure of political actors to public scrutiny and poor performance in economic policy, have eroded the capacity of elected repre- sentatives to govern. [20] [9] [3] In Australia, declining levels of trust are concomitant 1 According to sociologist John Thompson, the electoral success of governments and political parties has become increasingly bound to the perceived credibility and integrity of their leaders. -

Analysing the Geography of Minor Parties at Australian State and Federal Elections, 1997-2006
A dynamic electorate? Analysing the geography of minor parties at Australian state and federal elections, 1997-2006. Stephen Smith Bachelor of Arts (Honours) UNSW A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Smith First name(s): Stephen Joseph Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: 1081 PhD in Geography School: Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberra Title: A dynamic electorate? Analysing the geography of minor parties at Australian state and federal elections, 1997-2006. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Australian minor parties have played an important role in the Australian electoral landscape, yet have received sporadic coverage in Australian electoral geography literature. The dearth of coverage of minor parties has been evident in the contemporary context. This thesis seeks to broaden knowledge of geographies of minor parties through an investigation of Australian state and federal elections conducted between 1997 and 2006. Six minor parties are investigated in this thesis: Australians Against Further Immigration, Australian Democrats, Family First, The Greens, One Nation and Unity. To conduct this investigation, a conceptual framework that combines an assessment of geographies of electoral performance, presence and participation was developed. A mixed methods approach incorporating qualitative and quantitative methodologies and assessments of three case study elections were adopted. This thesis has been informed by an interest in the contemporary experiences of minor parties as participants in Australian electoral settings. -
