Barton Deakin Brief: Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution 9 April 2018 Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission (‘AEC’) announced substantial redistributions for the Electorate Divisions in Victoria and the ACT. The redistribution creates a third Federal seat in the ACT and an additional seat in Victoria. These new seats are accompanied by substantial boundary changes in Victoria and the ACT. ABC electoral analyst Antony Green has predicted that the redistribution would notionally give the Australian Labor Party an additional three seats in the next election – the Divisions of Dunkley, Fraser, and Bean – while the seat of Corangamite would become one of the most marginal seats in the country. The proposed changes will now be subject to a consultation period where objections to the changes may be submitted to the AEC. The objection period closes at 6pm May 4 in both the ACT and Victoria. A proposed redistribution for South Australia will be announced on April 13. This Barton Deakin Brief will summarize the key electoral boundary changes in the ACT and Victoria. New Seats The Redistribution Committee has proposed that four of Victoria’s electoral divisions be renamed. Additionally, two new seats are to be created in Victoria and the ACT New Seats Proposed for Victoria and ACT DIVISION OF BEAN (ACT) New seat encompassing much of the former Division of Canberra. The seat will be named after World War I war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow Green (1879-1968) DIVISION OF FRASER (VIC) New seat named after former Liberal Party Prime Minister John Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL (1930-2015), to be located in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Changed Seats The redistribution committee has proposed that four of Victoria’s electoral divisions be renamed. The new names for these electorates are as follows; Changed Seats Proposed for Victoria and the ACT DIVISION OF COX (VIC) Renamed from Division of Corangamite, named after May Cox (1883-1953) for her contribution to swim teaching and lifesaving. DIVISION OF MACNAMARA (VIC) The Division of Melbourne Ports will be renamed in honour of Dame Annie Jean MacNamara DBE (1899-1968) for her contributions to medical science. DIVISION OF MONASH (VIC) The Division of McMillian will be renamed after Sir John Monash CB(M) KCB(M) GCMB (1865-1931) one of the foremost Allied military commanders of the First World War. DIVISION OF NICHOLLS (VIC) Renamed from Division of Murray after Sir Douglas Ralph Nicholls MBE(C) OBE(C) KCVO (1906-1988) and Lady Gladys Nicholls (1906-1981) for their advocacy of Aboriginal rights and welfare.

    AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRATS (ACT DIVISION) SUBMISSION TO THE ACT LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES REDISTRIBUTION 2003 Introduction In March 2000, The ACT Democrats submitted a proposed redistribution of electoral boundaries to the ACT Electoral Commission (“the Commission”), which was not then taken up by the Redistribution Committee (“the Committee”). However, the ACT Democrats still believe our suggestion provided a more sensible layout of electorates for the ACT Legislative Assembly elections than exists at present. This submission presents a modified version of our previous proposal, reflecting the changes in population distribution since then, and reviews a range of social, economic and environmental data to support our conclusions. The ACT Democrats continue to support the principle that electoral boundaries should place electors into groups that best reflect their common interests, demographics and spatial location. In particular, the ACT Democrats continue to oppose the division of Gungahlin between two electorates, believing that it is unwise to divide a small suburban cluster with similar electoral interests, and particularly one that is in the early stages of community development and representation. Secondly, the ACT Democrats continue to believe that the inclusion of Gungahlin in the central electorate of Molonglo does not represent any meaningful community of interest. This creates an electorate with little spatial integration and few social, economic or developmental commonalities. This submission begins with a short discussion of demographic change in Canberra, but will focus principally on the northern electoral boundary dividing Ginninderra and Molonglo. It will also discuss the Southern boundary between Brindabella and Molonglo, as well as touch upon some issues surrounding the Electoral Act 1992 (“the Act”).

  • Federal Electorate Redistributions 19 March 2021

    Federal Electorate Redistributions 19 March 2021

    Barton Deakin Brief: Federal Electorate Redistributions 19 March 2021 Overview The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has proposed a redistribution of divisions in Western Australia and Victoria. Victoria will gain one seat in the House of Representatives and Western Australia will lose one, increasing the Victorian total to 39 and decreasing the Western Australian total to 15. The Division of Hawke will be created in Victoria and the Division of Stirling currently held by Vince Connelly (LPA) will be abolished. The Division of Hawke is likely to include the suburbs of Ballan, Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Diggers Rest, and Sunbury. ABC election analyst Antony Green has calculated that the two-party-preferred in Hawke will have Labor ahead with a margin of 10.2 per cent. The Coalition is not expected to increase its margins in Victoria as a result of these changes and the calculations suggest that there may be small swings against the Coalition in Kooyong, Deakin, Mallee, Menzies, Monash, Chisholm, Wannon, and Higgins. Labor is likely to increase its margins in Hotham, Fraser, Calwell, and Macnamara, and to decrease its margins in Bruce, Gellibrand, Gorton, Maribyrnong, Ballarat, Jagajaga, Isaacs, Wills, Holt, Cooper, and Bendigo. Background The AEC is required to redistribute the federal electoral divisions when: the number of MPs a state or territory is entitled to has changed; the number of electors in more than one-third of the electoral divisions in a state deviates from the average divisional enrolment by over 10 per cent for more than two months; or seven years has elapsed since the last redistribution process was determined.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.

    Links and Consolidation Network for Refugees

    1 Originally submitted to the CSP 2020 Review board 25 October 2020 Subject: Review of Australia’s Community Support Program (CSP) for Refugees I am Fr Arnold Heredia. I am delighted that the Australian Government is reviewing the Australian Community Sponsorship Program (CSP) for refugees. This matter is important to me as it is for many Australians. I write to you with the insight from a diverse group of stakeholders to the CSP. They are Australian community leaders, organisations and international partners. All who highly rank the importance of improving the Australian CSP. Since the end of World War II, Australia has had a commitment to resettlement of people from all over the world. Immigrants came to Australia in search of a better life. In doing so they have made enormous contributions to our nation, which has often been acknowledged. Unfortunately, in contrast with this magnanimous policy, today we see very limited pathways for refugees to find a safe home in Australia. One of these avenues is the CSP. We commend your government’s commitment to review and improve this program. As you may be aware, there are significant drawbacks in the current CSP, that inhibit the Australian people from taking part as sponsors. These drawbacks render the implementation of the CSP virtually impossible. The objective of this submission is to request that our government implement a more amenable and humane approach to the implementation of the CSP which: 1. Is affordable and sustainable 2. Does not disadvantage others in need 3. Allows community, families, donors and businesses to act as sponsors 4.
