It contains details of voting for all Legislative Assembly districts and Legislative Council regions, as well as relevant summary statistics for both chambers. The 2017 election was the second held following the introduction of fixed date elections and the third since the introduction of one-vote one-value electorate boundaries for the Legislative Assembly. It was conducted following a redistribution that abolished one non-metropolitan district and added an extra seat to South Metropolitan Region. Format for Legislative Assembly Results For each Legislative Assembly district, details of the first preference votes and percentages received by each candidate are provided, as well as the final count after the distribution of preferences. Where appropriate, an alternative two-party preferred count is included. The format for the results is as follows: First Count: The total of first preferences for each candidate is shown, with the candidate’s percentages calculated by dividing the first preference vote by the formal vote. Swing is calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by the party at the 2013 election from the percentage received at the 2017 election. Where the parties contesting differ from the 2013 election, ‘ghost’ candidates (indicated by ‘...’) have been included to represent candidates not contesting the current election. All results from 2013 have been adjusted to take account of the redistribution. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the full distribution of preferences. Ballot papers that did not include a preference choosing between the final two candidates are included in the total for ‘Exhausted’ votes. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote for each candidate by the total votes remaining in the count, that is the formal vote minus the exhausted votes. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the results of the 2013 election adjusted for the redistribution. Where the party composition of the final two candidates differs from the 2013 election (e.g. Kalgoorlie), ghost candidates appear and three swing figures are shown. 2-Party Preferred: This total appears in electorates that did not finish as a contest between Labor and Liberal candidates at either the 2013 or 2017 elections. It shows the alternate two-party preferred count between Labor and Liberal/National candidates, as well as change in percentage vote since the 2013 election. Two-Candidate Preferred versus Two-Party Preferred Results The final or two-candidate preferred count for an electorate is the final tally of votes after the formal distribution of preferences. It is a count conducted by the successive exclusion of the lowest polling candidates and the re-examination of their ballot papers to determine the next available preference. The two-party preferred count represents a similar distribution of preferences, but at all stages retains the final two candidates as representatives of the Labor and Liberal or National Parties. At the 2017 election, 51 of the 59 Legislative Assembly districts finished as two-candidate preferred contests between Labor and Liberal candidates, five as Labor-National contests (Albany, Central Wheatbelt, North West Central, Pilbara, Warren-Blackwood), two as National versus Liberal contest (Moore, Roe) and one as a Labor-Independent contest (Baldivis). Unlike recent elections, the WA Electoral Commission did not conduct alternative two-party preferred counts. 1 2017 Western Australian Election Estimates of Two-Party Preferred Vote For Baldivis, Moore and Roe, this publication uses estimated two-party preferred counts. The WAEC’s published preference count for the three seats has been used until the final exclusion, after which the following estimates have been used to estimate final two-party preferred count. In Baldivis, Independent Matt Whitfield has been excluded at the final exclusion and his preferences distributed 54.8% to Labor and 45.2% to Liberal. This was the preference flow on the exclusion of Independent Carol Adams in Kwinana at the 2013 election. In Moore and Roe, the Liberal candidate has been excluded at the final distribution rather than the Labor candidate, creating a Labor versus National two-party preferred count. Liberal preferences have been distributed 83.8% to National and 16.2% to Labor, the average Liberal preference flow on exclusion in the preference distributions for Albany and Warren-Blackwood. Liberal or National Candidates in Two-Party Preferred Counts In 2013 the WA Electoral Commission counted out all seats to finish as Labor versus Liberal contests. After taking account of the redistribution, this publication has used these Labor versus Liberal counts in all electorates, except for Pilbara where the actual Labor versus National preference count from 2013 has been used as the two-party preferred count. Historically the flow of National preferences to Liberal has been weaker than the reverse flow of Liberal preferences to National. This means the Labor versus Liberal counts from 2013 recorded a lower non-Labor two-party preferred count compared to what would have been produced by Labor versus National counts. This was certainly the case in Pilbara, where in 2013 the Liberal two-party percentage versus Labor was 53.8%, but the National two-party percentage versus Labor was 61.5%. This publication has used the Labor versus National count as the historical two-party preferred count in Pilbara, but the WAEC’s alternative

    Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD) THIRTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION 2012 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 15 November 2012 Legislative Assembly Thursday, 15 November 2012 THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. PARLIAMENT HOUSE — SOLAR PANELS INSTALLATION Statement by Speaker THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams): Members, I remain on my feet to provide you with two pieces of information. The Parliament has decided to install a set of solar panels on top of Parliament House. By the end of the year, Parliament will be generating its own electricity on site. There will be 72 panels in all, enough to provide energy to both legislative chambers. I might facetiously suggest that we always have enough light in this house! Mr T.R. Buswell: We’ve got enough hot air! The SPEAKER: Correct, minister! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Thanks, members. Hon Barry House, President of the Legislative Council, and I have been planning this project for quite some years. We believe that the location of the 72 solar array panels above this particular chamber, construction of which finished in 1904, will certainly reduce electricity costs in this place. Parliament will undertake other sustainable energy innovations with LED lighting, the use of voltage optimisers and the real time monitoring of electricity, gas and water use. I knew that members would find that information useful. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND JUSTICE STANDING COMMITTEE — INQUIRY INTO THE STATE’S PREPAREDNESS FOR THIS YEAR’S BUSHFIRE SEASON Extension of Reporting Time — Statement by Speaker THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams): I also indicate that I received a letter dated 14 November 2012 from the Chairman of the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee advising that the committee has resolved to amend the tabling date of the report on its inquiry into the state’s preparedness for this year’s fire season until 26 November 2012.
