It contains details of voting for all Legislative Assembly districts and Legislative Council regions, as well as relevant summary statistics for both chambers. The 2013 election was the first held following the introduction of fixed date elections. It was conducted on new electoral boundaries, though the number of members in both chambers, as well as the distribution of electorates between Perth and non-metropolitan areas, remained unchanged. 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 of 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 2008 election from the percentage received at the 2013 election. Where the parties contesting the district differ from the 2008 election, ‘ghost’ candidates (indicated by ‘...’) have been included to represent candidates not contesting the current election. All results from 2008 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 2008 election adjusted for the redistribution. Where the party composition of the final two candidates differs from the 2008 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. It shows the alternate two-party preferred count between Labor and Liberal candidates, as well as change in percentage vote since the 2008 election. Two-Candidate Preferred versus Two-Party Preferred Results The two-candidate preferred count for an electorate is defined as the final tally after the formal distribution of preferences, which is conducted by the successive exclusion of the lowest polling candidates and re-examination of their ballot papers to determine the next valid 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 Parties. In 49 of the 59 Legislative Assembly electorates, the final two-candidate preferred was a also the two- party preferred count between Labor and Liberal candidates. In eight electorates the final two- candidate preferred count was between Liberal and National candidates (Central Wheatbelt, Eyre, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Moore, North West Coastal, Wagin, Warren-Blackwood), one finished as a Labor-National contest (Pilbara) while Kwinana was a contest between Labor and an Independent candidate. In these ten electorates, the Electoral Commission conducted a second distribution of preferences between Labor and Liberal candidates to produce a two-party preferred count. This included an extra count in Pilbara, where the Labor-National finish could have been used as the two-party preferred, as it was at the 2008 election. 1 2013 Western Australian Election Throughout this publication, the Labor-Liberal count for Pilbara has been used as the two-party preferred total, but appropriate reference is given to the Labor-National finish and how this compares with the 2008 election result. In 2008 the WAEC did not conduct this second count in Pilbara and the Labor-National count was used as the two-party preferred total. In the analysis of two-party preferred totals beginning on page 20, an alternate state wide two-party preferred is provided using the Labor-National count in Pilbara. At various points in this publication, both margins against Labor are used for Pilbara, with relevant references included in notes. Defining Holding Parties and Sitting Members The party status of the three electorates listed below has been modified to take account of by- elections, changes in party affiliation and the redistribution. • Fremantle was won by Labor at the 2008 election, but lost to Green candidate Adele Carles at a May 2009 by-election. Carles became an Independent in May 2010 and re-contested the 2013 election as an Independent. Fremantle has been classed as Independent held. • Morley was won by Liberal candidate Ian Britza in 2008, but the redistribution turned his seat into a notional Labor seat. Britza contested the 2013 election, is shown as a sitting member and was re-elected, but the seat has been classed as notionally Labor held and listed as a Liberal gain. • North West was won for Labor by Vince Catania at the 2008 election. In July 2009 he left Labor and joined the Nationals. The redistribution subsequently re-named the seat North West Central, the new boundaries also notionally overturning the Labor majority. North West Central has been classified as National held based on Catania being the sitting member. North West Central was one of four electorates with a new name at the 2013 election. The other three electorates to change name were Mindarie (formerly Butler), Nollamara (Mirrabooka) and Blackwood- Stirling (Warren-Blackwood). Given these changes, the starting point of party holdings for the 2013 election was Labor 27 (losing Fremantle and North West Central, gaining Morley), Liberal 23 (losing Morley), Nationals five (gaining North West Central) and Independents four (gaining Fremantle). All sitting members of the Legislative Assembly are indicated with ‘*’. This includes Ian Britza in Morley, and Brendon Grylls is also listed as a sitting member despite leaving Central Wheatbelt and contesting the Labor-held electorate of Pilbara. A summary of defeated and newly elected members for both the Assembly and the Council is provided

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 12 June 2013] p1319c-1334a Hon James Chown; Hon Dr Sally Talbot; Hon Alanna Clohesy; Hon Stephen Dawson ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from 11 June on the following motion moved by Hon Liz Behjat — That the following address be presented to His Excellency — To His Excellency Malcolm McCusker, Companion of the Order of Australia, Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, Queen’s Counsel, Governor in and over the state of Western Australia and its dependencies in the commonwealth of Australia. May it please Your Excellency: We, the Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled, beg to express our loyalty to our most gracious sovereign and thank Your Excellency for the speech you have been pleased to deliver to Parliament. HON JIM CHOWN (Agricultural — Parliamentary Secretary) [5.03 pm]: I think Mr Wandel needs be extremely serious about conducting an unbiased and open discussion with grower shareholders about the best direction and structure that would serve the Agricultural Region, and especially grain growers, well into the future. As I have already discussed, corporatisation of the entity was attempted at the turn of the century, and a fair bit of work was done on that matter. For the information of members, if 75 per cent of the grower shareholders were to decide that the best way forward for the entity would be for it to be corporatised, a bit of work would need to be done within the Parliament. In fact, section 35A(e) of the Bulk Handling Act 1967 would need to be repealed.

  • Building a Better Normal Act Greens 2020 Policy Platform
    BUILDING A BETTER NORMAL ACT GREENS 2020 POLICY PLATFORM THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO BUILD A BETTER NORMAL. In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society. If the bushfires and smoke over the summer, and now the COVID-19 pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue. While the old parties and status quo are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens have a plan to use this once in a lifetime opportunity to redress the inequalities and injustices inherent in our current systems—to build a better normal. This means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness and energy the ACT Greens brought to climate action to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come. It’s clear that now is both the right time and the best opportunity to build a better normal, by ensuring everyone has a home, by greening our suburbs, acting on climate change, and providing meaningful secure work. Our community can achieve amazing things when we put our minds to it and work together. We know we need to make our environment and activities more sustainable, and our community and infrastructure more resilient. We’re at a critical moment, and have the opportunity to rewrite the rules to ensure a cleaner, greener community where everyone is supported to thrive. The ACT Greens play a unique role in the Australian political landscape and have been working hard over decades to set policies in the ACT that help shape a fair and sustainable future.

June 2014 1 MOVING BEYOND 100 YEARS: THE ‘WA APPROACH’ TO NATIONAL PARTY SURVIVAL Abstract Since its formation in 1913, the Western Australian branch of the National Party has faced many challenges to its survival. Electoral reform removing rural malapportionment in 2005 prompted changes in strategic direction, including abandoning coalition with the Liberal Party and creating a discrete image, branding and policy approach. Holding the balance of power after the 2008 election, the Party adopted a post-election bargaining strategy to secure Ministries and funding for its ‘Royalties for Regions’ policy. This ‘WA approach’ is distinctive from amalgamation and coalition arrangements embraced elsewhere in Australia.
