  • 2016 ACT Election Capad Candidate Statements: Analysis at a Glance
    2016 ACT Election CAPaD Candidate Statements: analysis at a glance In 2016 CAPaD invited the candidates for the ACT election to introduce themselves to the electorate and to say why they felt they were suitable for the job of representing us in the Legislative Assembly. We hope you find this summary of the responses by those who were elected, about their perceived relationship with voters, informative. Conclusion In brief our MLAs understandably take a very traditional view of their representative relationship with voters. They are very much about being available for one-on-one interactions out and about on the hustings and by standard correspondence or email. There was some interest in social media but little interest in traditional media. Structured opportunities to meet constituents were also favoured. MLA initiated methods scored low. Interest in promoting or engaging through deliberative and participatory methods was mentioned by six of the MLAs. More detail follows. Response rates Overall: 62 of the 141 (44%) candidates submitted statements By success in being elected 14/25 (56%) of successful and 48/116 (41%) of the unsuccessful candidates By being elected by Party affiliation ALP: 25 candidates, 13 (52%) submitted statements; 7 (28% of all candidates and 54% of those who submitted statements) elected Liberal Party, 25 candidates, 10 (48%) submitted statements; 5 (20% of all candidates and 50% of those who submitted statements) elected The Greens, 15 candidates 13 (67%) submitted statements; of those 2 (13% of all candidates and

  • The ACT Election 2016: Back to the Future?
    The ACT election 2016: back to the future? Terry Giesecke 17 February 2017 DOI: 10.4225/50/58a623512b6e6 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this paper are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the view of APO. Copyright/Creative commons license: Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 3.0 (CC BY-NC 3.0 AU) 12 pages Overview This resource is a summary of the outcome of the ACT election, held in October 2016. It was an unusual election, in that it saw little movement in party support from the previous election in 2012 and no fringe parties or candidates were elected. The main issues were the construction of a tramline, the implementation of tax reform, the demolition of over one thousand houses to resolve asbestos contamination and allegations of corruption. The ACT Election 2016: Back to the future? The ACT election on October 15 was more of a 1950s or 1960s election. In that era little movement occurred from one election to the next. In 1967 political scientist Don Aitkin wrote, “Most Australians have a basic commitment to one or other of the major parties, and very few change their mind from one election to the other”1. Not so today. In the last few years Australia has experienced three one term State/Territory Governments, huge swings from election to election and the rapid rise and fall of new parties. So why was the ACT different? The ACT election saw a swing of 0.5 per cent against the governing ALP and their partner the Greens and a 2.2 per cent swing against the opposition Liberals.

  • PDF Minutes 11 February 2020 Final
    HACKETT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE MEETING Tuesday 11 February 2020 Minutes Present: Chris Mobbs, Terry de Luca, Kay Murphy, Brook Clinton, Greg Hughes, Bruce Smith Apologies: John Carty, Scott Obara, Minutes from the 12 November 2019 meeting were accepted with no changes. Hackett shops – Chris spoke to his paper (attached). Key points included: • There was a quick response from the Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, who requested a meeting to discuss plans for the shops • “Red mane” was the most popular colour in the survey of residents, and the gardens brickwork already looks much better • Shrub and tree planting has been done – including two red oaks • The Government has addressed trip hazards through relaid pavers • Log barriers have been installed behind Rusty Mals to prevent pedestrians walking directly across laneway Greg raised the issue of increased graffiti in the suburb, especially with the trademark “OOPS”. It was agreed that it looks terrible but given that it is already illegal, it is not clear what more can be done. Brooke noted that the Downer Community Association had asked police for regular patrols of the Downer shops to stop graffiti but the police said they do not have the additional resources to do that. The Committee commended the progress which has been made on the shops. Treasurers report – Terry reported that the account balance stands at $5,688.74. He reported that the grant for the Hackett Compost Collective has been received and also funding from the North Canberra Community Council for the Party at the Shops. Terry flagged his intention to stand down from the Treasurer position at the next AGM to focus on other personal and community priorities.

  • 2016 Australian Capital Territory Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2016–17 12 JANUARY 2017 2016 Australian Capital Territory election: an overview Hannah Gobbett Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcome for the 15 October 2016 election for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Legislative Assembly. • The two major issues of the election campaign were the enlargement of the Legislative Assembly (from 17 to 25 Members) and redistribution of all electorates, and the establishment of a light rail network through northern Canberra. • Following the election, neither major party gained the 13 seats required to form a majority in the Legislative Assembly. The Australian Labor Party (12 MLAs) reached a Parliamentary Agreement with the two Greens MLAs to form Government. The Canberra Liberal Party formed the Opposition. • The 2016 ACT election result continues a period of stability in ACT politics that has occurred since 2008, whereby the ALP forms government with the Greens through an official Parliamentary Agreement. • For the first time in Australian federal and state parliamentary history, a majority of women (13 of the 25 MLAs) were elected to Parliament.
