  • Optional Preferential Voting for the Australian Senate
    ELECTORAL REGULATION RESEARCH NETWORK/DEMOCRATIC AUDIT OF AUSTRALIA JOINT WORKING PAPER SERIES OPTIONAL PREFERENTIAL VOTING FOR THE AUSTRALIAN SENATE Michael Maley (Associate, Centre For Democratic Institutions, Australian National University) WORKING PAPER NO. 16 (NOVEMBER 2013) 1 Introduction This paper explores the possible use of optional preferential voting (OPV) as a way of dealing with concerns which have been crystallised at the 2013 Australian federal election about the operation of some aspects of the Senate electoral system. Its main emphasis is on the extent to which full preferential voting no longer enables voters to express their preferences truthfully, and the role which OPV could play in correcting this.1 In a number of respects, the election was remarkable. • The 40 vacancies were contested by a record number of candidates, 529. • The percentage of votes polled by parties already represented in the Parliament dropped significantly from 2010. • In five out of the six States, a candidate was elected from a party which had never previously been represented in the federal Parliament. • For the first time ever, the seats in one State, South Australia, were divided between five different parties. • In Victoria, a minor party candidate was elected after having polled only 0.5% of the first preference votes cast in the State. • In Western Australia, a partial recount of ballot papers was ordered, and in the aftermath of its conduct it was revealed by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) that some 1,375 ballot papers “all of which had been verified during the initial WA Senate count … could not be located, rechecked or verified in the recount process”.

  • JSCEM Submission K Bonham
    Submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters: Inquiry into and report on all aspects of the conduct of the 2013 Federal Election and matters related thereto. by Dr Kevin Bonham, submitted 10 April 2014 Summary This submission concerns the system for voting in Senate elections. Following the 2013 Australian federal elections, the existing Senate system of group ticket voting is argued to be broken on account of the following problems: * Candidates being elected through methods other than genuine voter intention from very low primary votes. * Election outcomes depending on irrelevant events involving uncompetitive parties early in preference distributions. * The frequent appearance of perverse outcomes in which a party would have been more successful had it at some stage had fewer votes. * Oversized ballot papers, contributing to confusion between similarly-named parties. * Absurd preference deals and strategies, resulting in parties assigning their preferences to parties their supporters would be expected to oppose. * The greatly increased risk of close results that are then more prone to being voided as a result of mistakes by electoral authorities. This submission recommends reform of the Senate system. The main proposed reform recommended is the replacement of Group Ticket Voting with a system in which a voter can choose to: * vote above the line for one or more parties, with preferences distributed to those parties and no other; or * vote below the line with preferences to at least a prescribed minimum number of candidates

  • Resignation Statements Start Being Written
    Before I get into the events of the last week of my involvement in the WikiLeaks Party let me set the context of my involvement. 2009. I was the out going president of the recently liquidated Victorian College of the Arts Student Union. The VCA had been adsorbed into the University of Melbourne and Sharman “The Chainsaw” Pretty has been appointed Dean to tighten the belt and make the school less of a burden on UoM. We students together with teachers and industry who were standing up to the mighty behemoth were then given some important information. Proof that UoM were planning to rip the guts out of the college and leave it to die in mediocrity. Through some friends of the cause we had been given the VCs secret plans. “Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Music Business Plan 2010 FINAL” is the title of the document “Great!” we said, “Now! Where to put it so everyone can see?” “Upload website?” “It's been taken down...” “Found another!” “It's down again...” *extensive google search* “What about this WikiLeaks.org thing I just found?” And there the document still is: http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Victorian_College_of_the_Arts_and_Music_Business_Plan _2010_final_summary,_2009 WikiLeaks, that I now know, a place willing to stand up for all that is right and show the world the truth, whether governments like it or not. It enabled us to always have a safe place to put documents to point to the atrocities in the world. So began my exploration into this place of transparency. Not long after I discover the Pirate Party of Australia.

  • Please Find Attached My Submission to the Ministerial Expert Committee on Electoral Reform
    Please find attached my submission to the Ministerial Expert Committee on Electoral Reform. William Bowe Submission to Ministerial Expert Committee on Electoral Reform Firstly, I would like to add my support to the objective of achieving greater electoral equality through reform to the group voting ticket system and rural malapportionment for the Legislative Council, which are inconsistent with the principle that representative democracy should reflect the purposely expressed will of voters on an equal basis. However, since these arguments will be made more than adequately by others, the intention of my submission is to provide some analysis of the likely electoral impact of reforms along the lines of those introduced for the Senate in 2016. This will be done through comparison of the two federal elections held since these reforms were introduced, namely the double dissolution election of 2016 and half-Senate election of 2019, and the last half- Senate election held under the group voting ticket system in 2013. At the end of this submission are two tables, identified as Table 1 and Table 2, which illustrate how preferences flowed from the early to the final stages of the Senate election counts in Western Australia in 2013 and Tasmania in 2019. I have been unable to complete an equivalent analysis for Western Australia in 2019 before the deadline for submissions, but can provide one at a later time. While the former result was voided due to the loss of 1,375 ballot papers during a recount, it remains a better illustration of the effect of the group voting ticket system than the special election that followed in April 2014, since the provisional election of Wayne Dropulich of the Australian Sports Party from 0.23% of the vote on the earlier occasion is a notable example of the potential for group voting tickets to produce perverse results.
