    Second Reading Speech

    DRAFT SECOND READING SPEECH HON WILL HODGMAN MP Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 *check Hansard for delivery* I move – That the Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 now be read for the second time. The Commonwealth recently reviewed the House of Representatives boundaries in Tasmania. This review was part of an independent redistribution of federal electoral boundaries, required under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The previous redistribution of the federal electoral boundaries in Tasmania was completed in 2009. The redistribution of electoral boundaries usually reflects population changes to ensure an even and fair allocation of voters among the electorates. Having even electorates is an important element of retaining ‘fairness’ in our voting system and indeed our democracy. On 14 November 2017, the Commonwealth augmented Electoral Commission for Tasmania announced new boundaries for the federal electorates in Tasmania. The augmented Commission consisted of the three members of the Australian Electoral Commission, the Australian Electoral Officer for Tasmania, Mr David Molnar, the Surveyor-General of Tasmania, Mr Michael Giudici, and the Auditor-General of Tasmania, Mr Rod Whitehead. The augmented Commission also announced that the division of ‘Denison’ be renamed to the division of ‘Clark’. This name change recognises the role of Andrew Inglis Clark in the creation of the Australian Federation. The new name and boundary changes will apply from the next federal election. However, these Commonwealth changes do not automatically apply as State electoral boundaries in Tasmania. In the past, the Tasmanian Parliament has chosen to adopt the Commonwealth House of Representatives boundaries for the purposes of House of Assembly divisions by amending the Constitution Act 1934 to ensure they coincide.

    Information for Candidates

    Tasmanian House of Assembly Election 1996 Information for Candidates Section 1 - Information Section 2 - Extracts from Relevant Legislation November 1995 Introduction Purpose of this booklet This information booklet is intended to assist intending candidates at the 1996 Tasmanian House of Assembly General Election. For ease of reading, some sections of the Electoral Act 1985 have been paraphrased. However, it is important to note that this booklet has no legal status and should not be substituted for the Act itself. As this is the first Candidate Information booklet produced for Tasmanian House of Assembly Elections, any comments or suggestions for improvement arc welcome. Unless otherwise specified section references in subject headings are from the Electoral Act 7 985. Role of the Tasmanian Electoral Office and Returning Officers Candidates should be aware that the role of the Tasmanian Electoral Office and Returning Officers is to administer the election in accordance with the Electoral Act 7985 While interpretation of the Act forms part of the daily function of Returning Officers, it is not their role to provide legal advice to candidates, groups or parties. It is in the best interests of candidates to obtain legal interpretations from their own legal advisers. “Section 2 - Extracts from relevant legislation A section containing legislation follows the information section. Please note that only some of the relevant extracts have been included and candidates should refer to the original Acts for further provisions. Useful tips: Shaded boxes throughout the booklet highlight practical advice for candidates. Purchasing the Electoral Act 7985 and the Constitution Act 1934 The Electoral Act 1985 and other relevant iegislation can be purchased from the Tasmanian Government Bookshop.

The Australian Labor Party, Tasmanian branch expresses the view that the augmented Australian Electoral Commission decision to exclude from the division of Bass the urban component of Meander Valley Council should be rejected. The decision favours the community of interest arguments raised by Dorset municipality, but fails to recognise sufficiently, if at all, the deep connections at all levels between the urban parts of Meander Valley Council and the remainder of Launceston city. Meander Valley Council consists of an urban portion and a substantial rural component. The urban component is universally considered as indistinguishable from Greater Launceston. There is no obvious boundary between Launceston City Council and Meander Valley Council other than the features chosen to provide the boundary for municipal purposes. In larger metropolitan cities on the mainland such suburban distinctions on lines of community identity are considerably easier to identify. The Australian Labor Party, Tasmanian branch is strongly of the view that the local government boundary between Launceston and Meander Valley should not be utilised for the purposes of the redistribution, due to the fact that the community of interest overwhelmingly favours the retention of the urban parts of Meander Valley Council with the balance of Greater Launceston.

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.
