Conclusion 247 Bibliography 251 Appendices 260 i Abstract While all houses of Australian parliaments using proportional representation use the Single Transferable Vote arrangement, district magnitudes (the numbers of members elected per division) and requirements for casting a formal vote vary considerably. Early chapters of this thesis analyse election results in search for distinct patterns of proportionality, the numbers of effective parties and partisan advantage under different conditions. This thesis argues that while district magnitude remains the decisive factor in determining proportionality (the higher the magnitude, the more proportional the system), ballot paper numbering requirements play a more important role in determining the number of (especially) parliamentary parties. The general pattern is that, somewhat paradoxically, the more freedom voters have to choose their own preference allocations, or lack of them, the smaller the number of parliamentary parties. Even numbered magnitudes in general, and six member divisions in particular, provide some advantage to the Liberal and National Parties, while the Greens are disadvantaged in five member divisions as compared to six or seven member divisions.

  • PM Makes Calwell Call Fall in Valley Crime
    Tuggeranong Community Council Newsletter Issue 15: May 2012 PM makes Calwell call Fall in Valley Crime Crime rates in the Tuggeranong Valley have fallen according to the latest statis- tics recently released by ACT Policing. The number of offences recorded in Tug- geranong for the first quarter of 2012 totalled 1,991 compared to 2,222 for the same period last year and 2,670 for last quarter of 2011. Offences ranged from assaults, property damage, motor vehi- cle theft and robberies. In releasing the statistics, ACT Policing said they reflected a decline in crime rates across the ACT compared to the same period last year. Acting Superintendent of ACT Policing Intelligence, Chris Meagher, said crime statistics allow members of the commu- nity to see what crimes were occurring in the ACT and their suburb, with the ability to view trends over time. “Of particular significance is the number L to R: Jayson Hinder, CEO of the Calwell Community-owned Bendigo Bank, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Nick Tsoulias, Vice President of the Tuggeranong Community Council of assaults reported in the City area has decreased from 101 to 76, or by 24.7%,” Calwell Shopping Centre recently played John Agius, the CEO of the Calwell he said. host to Prime Minister, Julia Gillard and Branch of the Bendigo Bank and Tugger- Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan. anong Community Council Vice Presi- According to the statistics Tuggeranong dent, Nick Tsoulias. ranked third for overall offences behind Both were in the Tuggeranong Valley Belconnen (2,490) and North Canberra selling the recently released Federal Ms Gillard also took time out to enjoy (2,438).
