Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party). -

Finally, it expresses a conclusion about how best the balance can be struck between the interests of the individual and the state on this much debated topic. ........................................................................................................ 77 Driving whilst disqualified – A case for change – Julian R Murphy and Hugo Moodie This article highlights the authors’ concern at the approach of Northern Territory courts to sentencing for the offence of driving whilst disqualified.

Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Ensuring
invite members to notice Appendix A on page 69 which lists the 28 submissions received. Mine was the first received. That inquiry was essentially the same as this one. For that reason, I quote page 3 under the heading “The Tollner Bill”: On 16 June 2003, Mr David Tollner MP, Member for Solomon, introduced a private Member’s Bill to the House of Representatives: the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Representation of Territories) Bill 2003 (the “Tollner Bill”) . The Bill seeks to amend the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 to provide that at least two Members of the House of Representatives are chosen for the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory at each general election. On pages 55 and 56 of that report my submission is quoted this way under the heading 7.2: One submission to the inquiry strongly opposed increasing the minimum number of House of Representatives seats for the Territories. Associate Professor Malcolm Mackerras argued that such a proposal should be rejected as a matter of principle. He argues that the current formula for determining Territory representation entitlements in the House of Representatives is consistent with the process – as set out in the Constitution – for determining State entitlements to seats, and should be retained. I appeared before the Committee on Monday 18 August 2003. My clear memory is that I made the statement that democratic principle requires the implementation of the precept: “let the chips fall where they may”. Senator George Brandis said he understood the idea but wanted to know what would be my attitude towards the adoption of a principled formula that chanced to have the effect of giving the Northern Territory two seats where the operation of the then formula gave just one seat. -
Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).
