[email protected] From: Melina Bath <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 31 August 2020 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Your vote this week Dear Bob, Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding Andrews Labor Government’s intention to extend State of Emergency powers under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 for an additional 12-month period. As Victoria battles COVID-19, the State of Emergency is the legal framework under which the current wide- ranging restrictions on people’s lives and livelihoods including restrictions on leaving your own home, business closures, travel bans, quarantine arrangements and curfews are made. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Andrews Labor Government has been extending the State of Emergency in four-week blocks. However, the law states that there is a maximum six-month limit, with the current declaration due to expire on 13 September 2020. This week, the Andrews Labor Government wants the Victorian Parliament to pass a new law that will extend the maximum duration of state of emergency powers from the current 6 months to a potential 18 months. The draft legislation gives effect to these proposed laws (which you can read here) – and the Liberal Nationals have many serious concerns! As well as extending the maximum duration of a state of emergency from 6 months to 18 months, under the proposed new laws: · a State of Emergency may still apply even if there are no active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria. · the Chief Health Officer can take action to eliminate a serious risk to public health if he believes it to be ‘reasonably necessary’ rather than the current ‘necessary’ which represents a much lower threshold. -

However, without access to registered voter lists indicating where people cast their vote, re-allocating polling places to new electorates is an imprecise science, especially when polling places need to be split between electorates.

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.
