Party Abbreviations ALP Labor Party CDP Christian Democratic Party GRN The Greens IND Independents LIB Liberal Party NAT The Nationals OTH Others Comments and Feedback This publication has been prepared with reference to the electoral maps made available by the Electoral Districts Commission. 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. Comments and suggestions on the transfer of polling places is most welcome. Messages can be e-mailed to me at [email protected]. 2013 New South Wales Redistribution: Analysis of Final Electoral Boundaries 1 INTRODUCTION This publication provides an assessment of the political impact for the final determined New South Wales electoral boundaries, proclaimed on 18 September 2013. The final boundaries contained only minor adjustments to the draft boundaries released on 17 June 2013. The new boundaries will apply from the 2015 election. It must be stressed that this publication does not provide predictions for the 2015 election. The estimated margins provided in this publication are best thought of as possible results of the 2011 election had that election been fought on the new boundaries. The estimates cannot take into account the difference in candidate and campaign effort that would have occurred if the 2011 election had been fought on the new boundaries. The difficulty of splitting polling place catchment areas to match new electoral boundaries, as well as allocating declaration votes to new electorates, means the estimated margins should be treated as approximations. CALCULATIONS AND METHODOLOGY To calculate the political impact of the new boundaries, the results of the 2011 election have been re-assigned to match the new electoral boundaries. This requires a series of assumptions to be made as part of the calculations. These assumptions concern whether votes are cast for candidates or parties, how to transfer polling places between old and new electorates, and how to deal with the declaration vote from old electorates. Candidate versus Party Vote An assumption has been made that votes are cast for parties rather than candidates. This is a reasonable assumption, but ignores the importance of popular sitting members. A well-known sitting member may poll higher than his or her party would have with a different candidate. New electoral boundaries can see areas added to an electorate where the party vote was not influenced at the last election by the presence of the sitting member. The role of sitting Independent members is even more difficult to take into account. None of the Independents elected at the 2011 election contested the areas added to their electorates by the redistribution, making it difficult to calculate precise two-candidate preferred margins. Transferring Booths to Match the New Boundaries The Electoral Districts Commission released lists of all transfers of enrolment between old and new electorates. The transfer of polling place results from old to new electorates has been guided by the enrolment transfers as well as the published maps. Where the transfers and maps suggest the catchment area of a polling place should be divided, an estimate has been made to divide the results of a polling place between new electorates. Dealing with the Declaration Vote For calculation purposes, all declaration votes (pre-poll, postal, etc) and votes cast at Sydney Town Hall (except those in the Sydney electorate) have been accumulated into a single total and transferred to new electorates. These accumulated totals have been transferred to new electorates in proportion to the transfer of enrolment from old to new electorates. However, the vote by party in the declaration vote has been weighted to reflect the vote by party in polling places transferred between electorates. As an example, the old electorate of Marrickville has been abolished and divided between the new electorates of Newtown and Summer Hill. The polling places in those parts of Marrickville transferred to Summer Hill voted more strongly for the Labor Party in 2011 than polling places transferred to the new electorate of Newtown. As a result, in dividing the declaration vote between Summer Hill and Newtown, the patterns of polling place results is reflected in the 2 NSW Parliamentary Research Service declaration vote transferred. Summer Hill has been allocated a higher proportion of Labor vote and lower proportion of Green vote from the divided declaration vote than has been transferred to Newtown. Variations from Draft Boundaries Compared to the draft boundaries, changes were minor and confined to changes in five areas between the following electorates. • Goulburn and Monaro • Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury • Kiama and South Coast • Oxley and Myall Lakes • Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Wallsend. None of these changes had significant impact on estimated margins. By-elections and Changes in Party Membership Calculations in this publication are based on 2011 election results. They do not use the results of the five by-elections held since the 2011 election in the National-held electorate of Clarence (November 2011), Labor-held Heffron (August 2012), Independent held Sydney (October 2012) and Northern Tablelands (May 2013), and Liberal-held Miranda (October 2013). The Northern Tablelands and Miranda by-elections resulted in changes in party status. The calculations for both seats are based on the 2011 results, but the margins shown in the electoral pendulum on page 5 have been calculated in the following manner. The Northern Tablelands by-election was won by the National Party. The electoral pendulum has been adjusted to list the seat as National rather than Independent held. The

For two months (April/May 2006) I will be undertaking an artist- in-residence in Petersham, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Don’t you already live in Petersham? You mean you’re doing an artist-in-residence in your own suburb? Yep. I’ve lived here for nearly two years. I wanted to be artist-in-residence in my own place, rather than going away somewhere exotic. Is it true you won’t leave Petersham for the whole two months? Yeah that’s right. I am restricting myself to stay within the suburb boundaries (as drawn up by Marrickville Council). Hey Lucas, I’m having a party/screening/exhibition/wedding…but it’s in Surry Hills/Newtown/Vaucluse/Stanmore. Can’t you make an exception just this once? Nope. Sorry.* Can I come and visit you? Sure thing! Where exactly are the borders of Petersham? Good question. See the map on the back page... O—K. Umm, so tell me again…WHY are you doing this? Read “beginning bilateral petersham” - it might shed some light... Hey, I know something/someone amazing about/in Petersham. How can I let you know about it? I would LOVE to hear from you.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In January 1997, two Sydney Morning Herald journalists produced a brief account of what they perceived to be the most important rock and roll sites in Sydney.1 Their sense of the city's rock histories extended to places of local mythology well beyond popular music's production and consumption: five star hotels as frantic sites of adoration of the Beatles ensconced within; psychiatric hospitals where career paths merged with psychosis; and migrant hostels as sites of cross-cultural ambitions. The article was a rare acknowledgement of the spaces and places of performersand fans' interaction. This thesis constitutes an extended response to the article's implicit desire to recognise alternative accounts of Australian popular music connected to broader city narratives. In analysing the rock music venues of Sydney as sites of interaction between musicians, fans and government, I am principally concerned with three interrelated themes: • The social construction of live performance venues from 1955 amidst the parallel construction of the performer and fan as an 'unruly' subject; • The industrial development of live performance: the live rock venue within commercial/economic structures; and • The dialectical tension of the above in reconciling the state's desire for manageable 'cultural citizens' with broader cultural policy (support for live rock and roll within arts policies). A more detailed explication of these strands is undertaken in Chapter One, in providing a theoretical overview of relations between popular culture and the state, and specific media/cultural/popular music studies approaches to cultural practice and policy. My personal interest in the histories of live rock venues parallels an increased 1 Jon Casimir and Bruce Elder, 'Beat streets - a guide to Sydney's rock and roll history', Sydney Morning Herald, 9th January, 1997, pp.29-30.

    HARRY CLAY: CAREER AND PERSONAL CHRONOLOGY, 1865-1925 From "It Only Makes Me Love You More and More (A Heart's Confession)" Courtesy of Clay Djubal Table of Contents Personal Details ................................................................................................................... 2. Miscellaneous Information ..................................................................................................... 3. Chronology ........................................................................................................... 4. Songs Known to Have Been Performed by Harry Clay ......................................................... 24. This chronology is an updated and expanded version of Appendix K, which appears in the 1998 MA thesis, "Harry Clay and Clay's Vaudeville Company, 1865-1930." Much of the information in that Appendix was drawn from the primary sources located during the course of the research undertaken during 1997 was presented primarily as an additional research aid. Many of the details are included within the body of the thesis, although some extra information which relates to Clay, but not considered necessary to the thesis itself, has also been included. This AVTA version, first published on 6 March 2012, includes details located since 1998, and serves as additional resource to the Harry Clay biography. In some instances details have been added to that biography (and can be identified by PURPLE font). NOTE: Within the "Chronology" section are addresses where Harry Clay and his family are thought to have resided each year. During the early years, when he was often known as Henry, there appear to be at least two people by the name of Henry Clay living in Sydney. As I have not yet been able to establish which one is the subject of this thesis I have included both addresses. Furthermore, it must be mentioned that the addresses given during this early period, even when only one is included, must be treated with caution, as I have been unable to prove beyond doubt that such abodes were in fact lived in by Clay.
