Barton Deakin Brief: 2019 NSW State Election 20 March 2019 Barton Deakin Brief: 2019 NSW State Election 20 March 2019 The 2019 New South Wales (NSW) State Election will be held this Saturday, 23 March 2019, with the incumbent Liberal-National Coalition Government seeking a third term in office following its wins at the 2011 and 2015 state elections. The Coalition is led by the Premier and Leader of the NSW Liberal Party, the Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP. The Opposition is led by the Leader of the NSW Labor Party, the Hon Michael Daley MP. The NSW Government has officially entered caretaker mode on 1 March 2019. This Barton Deakin Brief previews the 2019 NSW State Election. Electoral System Under the NSW Constitution, elections are held on the fourth Saturday in March every four years. NSW is divided into 93 electorates (comprehensive electoral maps can be accessed here), with one representative elected from each electorate to the Legislative Assembly, the Lower House. The 42 members of the Legislative Council, the Upper House, represent NSW as a whole across an eight-year term. At each State election, half these members retire and an election is held for 21 positions. NSW has compulsory voting. Optional preferential ballots are conducted in single-member seats for the Legislative Assembly and across the entire State for the proportionally elected Legislative Council. Current Parliamentary Composition At the 2015 NSW State Election, the Liberal and National Parties (the “Coalition”) received 54.3% of the state-wide two-party preferred vote, winning 54 seats to the Labor Party’s 34 seats in the Legislative Assembly. The result represented a 9.9% swing to Labor since the 2011 election. As a result of resignations and by-elections since 2015, the Coalition now holds 51 seats in the Legislative Assembly (one safe Liberal seat of is vacant). Coalition defeats at the Orange and Wagga Wagga by-elections boosted the crossbench to seven members (including three Greens), with Labor holding its 34 seats. Majority government requires 47 seats. To view the 2019 NSW Electoral Pendulum depicting the margins of each seat, click here. In the Legislative Council, the Coalition currently holds 20 of 42 seats while the Labor Party holds 12 seats. 11 of the Coalition’s Upper House seats are up for re-election – this significant number is a legacy of the Coalition’s landslide win in 2011. If the Coalition wins the 2019 state election, in order to pass legislation, it will likely need to continue to negotiate in the Upper House with the Greens, Christian Democratic Party (CDP) and the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (SFF) – and possibly One Nation – though with a smaller minority. The Greens hold four seats in the Legislative Council, while the CDP and SFF currently hold two seats each, Animal Justice one, and Independents two. The current composition of the NSW Parliament is summarised in the following table: Party Legislative Assembly Legislative Council Liberal/National Coalition 35/16 (51) 13/7 (20) Labor 34 12 Greens 3 5 Shooters, Fishers and Farmers (SFF) 1 2 Christian Democratic Party (CDP) - 2 Animal Justice - 1 Independents 3 - Vacant 1 - Total: 93 42 By-elections Since the election of the Coalition Government in 2015 two of ten by-elections resulted in a change of party - Orange and Wagga-Wagga. A table summarising the results of these by-elections can be read below: By-election Former Party New Party New Seat Old Margin Date Member Affiliation Member Affiliation Margin Shooters, Scott National Philip Orange 12 Nov. 2016 Fishers and +21.7% +0.1% Barrett Party Donato Farmers Daryl Wagga-Wagga 8 Sep. 2018 Liberal Party Joe McGirr Independent +12.9% +9.6% Maguire Party Leaders Liberal Party – the Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP (Premier) The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP was first elected to NSW State Parliament in March 2003 in the seat of Willoughby.

  • Macquarie St Politics: Death by Disunity
    Macquarie St politics: Death by disunity The Daily Telegraph September 28, 2016 Andrew Clennell NATIONALS IN REVOLT AS MINISTERS PRESSURE BAIRD BACK when Barry O‟Farrell was opposition leader, he took the politically opportunistic decision to block Morris Iemma‟s electricity privatisation. Apart from the chance to thoroughly stuff up a premier (successfully, as it turned out), there was another reason O‟Farrell went for the move. He did not want to split with the Nats. O‟Farrell knew the importance of not having the Nationals and Liberals divided. Ironically, once premier, O‟Farrell took a similar proposal to his party and then the Parliament. It won in the Nationals party room by one vote. Former deputy premier Andrew Stoner‟s enduring legacy is that he kept the Nationals together. Troy Grant is not having quite the same success when it comes to greyhounds. Nationals leader Troy Grant NSW Premier Mike Baird. One big problem is that, as Racing Minister, it was he who took the minute to cabinet recommending the greyhound industry be banned. As story after story appears of Grant possibly resigning if the party loses the Orange by-election; of Nationals speaking out against the greyhound racing ban, and the fact that three MPs crossed the floor and two of them were later sacked as parliamentary secretaries, the sense is created of a divided government lacking discipline. It reminds me of 2008 when Labor fell apart over electricity privatisation. In such circumstances, pressure just builds and, sooner or later, something has to give. And just as O‟Farrell was going against his business base to take advantage of the Iemma government division over electricity, Opposition Leader Luke Foley is preparing to cash in on moving against the inner-city Left to cause dramas for this premier over greyhounds.

INAUGURAL SPEECHES Page: 2263 Mr TROY GRANT (Dubbo—Parliamentary Secretary) [6.04 p.m.]: (Inaugural Speech): I rise tonight for the first time in this historic Chamber in response to Her Excellency's address to this Parliament. In doing so, I firstly offer my congratulations to you, Mr Deputy-Speaker, on your well-deserved election to your role. I also offer my congratulations to Madam Speaker on her historic and well-deserved election to her role. In addition, I offer my congratulations to all my new parliamentary colleagues on their election to this House and to the other Chamber. Tonight I renew my pledge of loyal service to the Premier, the Deputy Premier and all the Cabinet members in assisting them in their vital service to our State as part of the Fiftieth-fifth Parliament of New South Wales. I stand here tonight a humble yet very proud member for the Dubbo electorate. From the outset I would like to acknowledge the former member, Ms Dawn Fardell, whom I have succeeded to this place, and wish her well with her future. I stand here now as the thirteenth State representative of the proud electorate of Dubbo, first proclaimed in 1894 and since its second incarnation from 1930. This is not an honour that is lost on me for a single moment. I was not born into poverty, nor was I born into privilege; I am just an ordinary bloke with an extraordinary opportunity. I was born into a normal family under whose care I was afforded every opportunity to live and learn to serve others before self; to take every step to right a wrong wherever possible; and to live by the ethos that to whom much is given, much is expected.

  • Adler A110: Troy Grant's Firearms Flip-Flop
    The Hon. Robert Borsak MLC Parliament of New South Wales Legislative Council Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MEDIA RELEASE 6 December 2016 Adler A110: Troy Grant's Firearms Flip-Flop Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MLC Robert Borsak called-out Police Minister Troy Grant for his flip-flop on the Adler A110, right on cue after the Orange by-election. "Before the November 12 Orange by-election Mr Grant made noises about opposing a reclassification of the Adler ever-action shotgun to Category D, but it was all for show as a ploy to win votes," Mr Borsak said. "Right on cue after the National Party was defeated in Orange, Troy Grant has rolled-over like Mike Baird's loyal pup to do whatever the Liberal Party wanted. In this case, that means banning the Adler A110. "The National Party have never found a Liberal Party policy they wouldn't support - even if it hurts people in rural areas. "We'll see one or two National Party MPs come out in the media against this, but when it comes down to ratifying COAG's proposal in each State, they'll fall-in behind the Liberal Party. "I'll be watching the voting record of every single National Party MP across Australia when it comes to ratifying this proposal on the Adler A110. Firearms owners won't forgive yet another betrayal by the National Party, and the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party has no reservations about contesting every one of their seats." Mr Borsak covered the issue in a YouTube video on November 4, saying that he thought Troy Grant's moves to reclassify the Adler A110 to Category B were disingenuous.
