It is an update to Background Paper No. 14, 1997–98, and reflects changes to Electoral Boundaries brought about by redistributions. The Electoral Boundaries used in this paper are those applicable following the 1999 and 2000 Electoral Redistributions in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory. The allocation of Census Collection Districts to the new Electoral Divisions was performed by the Australian Electoral Commission as a by-product of the redistribution process. Data for each characteristic is presented in two tables. The first table lists each Electoral Division alphabetically and shows the value of the characteristic. The second table ranks each Electoral Division on the relative value of the characteristic (normally the characteristic expressed as per cent of total). The political party holding each Division after the 1998 Election is also shown on each table. In the case of redistributed Divisions, this is the party notionally holding the Division. The Main Features section of the paper shows how each characteristic is defined, including the definition of the relative value of the characteristic and contains a brief overview of the interesting points of each table. It also shows the Australian average of the characteristic in the table. For comparison purposes the value and relative value of each characteristic for Australia and each State and Territory and for each Electoral Region are shown in the Appendices. Further Information Further information about this paper and requests for other Census data should be referred to Andrew Kopras, Statistics Group, Information and Research Services, on (02) 6277 2483. 1 Electorate Rankings: Census 1996 (2000 Electoral Boundaries) Main Features This section provides a summary of some of the more interesting features of each table. Table 1—Total Population Population in Electoral Division on Census night, 6 August 1996. The Division with the lowest total population is the newly created Northern Territory Division of Solomon (86 972), followed by the five Tasmanian Divisions. The Tasmanian divisions have low populations and continue to exist due to requirements outlined in the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia regarding representation of the original States. The Division with the highest total population is Kalgoorlie in Western Australia (168 250). Divisions with a high proportion of their population not on the Electoral Roll (young people, overseas born, etc.) feature at the higher end of the rankings for this characteristic. The two Divisions closest to the median population are Western Australian metropolitan Division of Perth (118 649) and the Queensland Rural Division of Wide Bay (118 659). Table 2—Population Density Population of Electoral Division per square kilometre. This table shows the greatest difference of all tables between lowest and highest ranked

    Links and Consolidation Network for Refugees

    1 Originally submitted to the CSP 2020 Review board 25 October 2020 Subject: Review of Australia’s Community Support Program (CSP) for Refugees I am Fr Arnold Heredia. I am delighted that the Australian Government is reviewing the Australian Community Sponsorship Program (CSP) for refugees. This matter is important to me as it is for many Australians. I write to you with the insight from a diverse group of stakeholders to the CSP. They are Australian community leaders, organisations and international partners. All who highly rank the importance of improving the Australian CSP. Since the end of World War II, Australia has had a commitment to resettlement of people from all over the world. Immigrants came to Australia in search of a better life. In doing so they have made enormous contributions to our nation, which has often been acknowledged. Unfortunately, in contrast with this magnanimous policy, today we see very limited pathways for refugees to find a safe home in Australia. One of these avenues is the CSP. We commend your government’s commitment to review and improve this program. As you may be aware, there are significant drawbacks in the current CSP, that inhibit the Australian people from taking part as sponsors. These drawbacks render the implementation of the CSP virtually impossible. The objective of this submission is to request that our government implement a more amenable and humane approach to the implementation of the CSP which: 1. Is affordable and sustainable 2. Does not disadvantage others in need 3. Allows community, families, donors and businesses to act as sponsors 4.

    Down but Not out in the Bush: Women's Experiences of Depression

    DOWN BUT NOT OUT IN THE BUSH: WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES OF DEPRESSION IN RURAL NEW SOUTH WALES Stephanie Johnson Bachelor of Social Work Master of Social Work Supervisors Associate Professor Mark Brough Dr Rosalyn Darracott Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Social Work Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Depression Feminist Rural Support Women 2 Down But Not Out in the Bush: Women’s Experiences of Depression in Rural NSW Abstract Biomedical research reports that depression is twice as common in women as men (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Piccinelli & Wilkinson, 2000). Rural women’s experiences of depression are of concern because of the barriers they face in accessing services and health care, due in part to factors such as isolation, violence, stigma, stoicism, and poverty (Alston et al., 2006). Despite numerous studies on depression, the literature contains only one mixed methods study and one qualitative study that address the topic of rural Australian women’s experiences of depression. This thesis argues that women’s experiences and experiential knowledge, as well as the challenges faced by women living in the bush, have not been adequately considered by previous research and that the accounts of these women are valid as a source of knowledge in their own right. Hearing from women about their lived experiences provides a rich source of information that may not be revealed without a qualitative study that begins and ends with the women as the central focus. The overall purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of women who were experiencing depression within the context of rural NSW.

    Objection 26 Daniel Ortlepp 4 pages 2020-21 Western Australian redistribution – objection to redistribution proposal Att: WA Redistribution Secretariat Australian Electoral Commission Locked Bag 4007 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Submitted electronically 16 April 2021 Dear Commissioners, Objection to redistribution proposal – names of proposed Divisions of Moore and Pearce I write to propose that the Federal division names Moore and Pearce be retired, and that new names commemorating significant Indigenous figures be given to these Divisions. Historical context Since the abolition of the Division of Kalgoorlie in the 2008 redistribution, no Western Australian division has been named for an Indigenous person or word. While I welcome the Commission’s proposal to acknowledge Sadie Canning MBE in the name of the Division of Canning, this change only raises the proportion of Western Australian divisions named for an Indigenous person or word to 1 in 15, or 6.7%. This is well below the current national figure of 15.2%. In its history, Western Australia has only had two divisions named for an Indigenous word, the geographic names of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie (now both retired). No Western Australian division has ever been named for an Indigenous person. As only 19 names have ever been used for Western Australian divisions, it is clear that the current pace of change cannot be relied upon to provide acknowledgement, in the Federal electoral system, of Western Australia’s past and present Indigeneity. Recent precedent exists for retiring a divisional name in order to honour a neglected historical figure, as when the Tasmanian Division of Denison was renamed the Division of Clark in that state’s 2019 redistribution.

    COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 May 2005]

    2356 [COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 May 2005] ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from 25 May. THE PRESIDENT: Before I give the call to Hon Donna Taylor, I wish to point out two matters. Firstly, this is the honourable member’s inaugural speech; therefore, in accordance with our customs, members will not interject. Secondly, I draw to the attention of the house the fact that in the public gallery is Hon Chris Ellison, who is not only a senator for Western Australia but also a minister in the federal government. HON DONNA TAYLOR (East Metropolitan) [12.14 pm]: I convey my congratulations to Hon Nick Griffiths on his election as President and Hon George Cash on his re-election as Chairman of Committees. I stand today in this house as one of two new Liberal members for the East Metropolitan Region. I am deeply conscious of the honour and privilege that has been granted to me by members of this community. I acknowledge my direct predecessor, Hon Derrick Tomlinson, who, with great distinction, served this Parliament and the Western Australian community since 1989. His eloquence, good humour and commitment to the East Metropolitan Region will certainly be missed and I place on record my personal thanks for his support and encouragement of me. The East Metropolitan Region is as vast as it is unique. It is the largest of the three metropolitan regions and comprises the two largest metropolitan Legislative Assembly districts of Serpentine-Jarrahdale and Swan Hills. I pause to congratulate the member for Serpentine-Jarrahdale on his recent election. The East Metropolitan Region encompasses, among many others, the towns of Bullsbrook, Gidgegannup, Chidlow, Bassendean and Midland; the Cities of Armadale, Gosnells, Belmont and Swan; the Shires of Kalamunda and Mundaring; and the historic towns of Guildford and Jarrahdale.

Queensland will have gained an extra Division in five of the past six Parliaments. The current distribution will only apply to the next election after which a new distribution will be required.
