  • Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution
    Barton Deakin Brief: Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution 9 April 2018 Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission (‘AEC’) announced substantial redistributions for the Electorate Divisions in Victoria and the ACT. The redistribution creates a third Federal seat in the ACT and an additional seat in Victoria. These new seats are accompanied by substantial boundary changes in Victoria and the ACT. ABC electoral analyst Antony Green has predicted that the redistribution would notionally give the Australian Labor Party an additional three seats in the next election – the Divisions of Dunkley, Fraser, and Bean – while the seat of Corangamite would become one of the most marginal seats in the country. The proposed changes will now be subject to a consultation period where objections to the changes may be submitted to the AEC. The objection period closes at 6pm May 4 in both the ACT and Victoria. A proposed redistribution for South Australia will be announced on April 13. This Barton Deakin Brief will summarize the key electoral boundary changes in the ACT and Victoria. New Seats The Redistribution Committee has proposed that four of Victoria’s electoral divisions be renamed. Additionally, two new seats are to be created in Victoria and the ACT New Seats Proposed for Victoria and ACT DIVISION OF BEAN (ACT) New seat encompassing much of the former Division of Canberra. The seat will be named after World War I war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow Green (1879-1968) DIVISION OF FRASER (VIC) New seat named after former Liberal Party Prime Minister John Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL (1930-2015), to be located in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

  • Victorian Labor 30 Pages
    Objection 63 Victorian Labor 30 pages Victorian secretariat Phone (03) 9285 7197 Fax (02) 6293 7664 Email [email protected] AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY OBJECTIONS TO REDISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE’S PROPOSAL FOR VICTORIA The effects of the ALP’s objections are summarised as follows: 1. Higgins/Macnamara: Restore Punt Road and Dandenong Road as electoral boundaries between these two Divisions. Instead of transferring 46,954 electors between these seats, instead only the suburb of Windsor, containing 4,731 electors are sent from Macnamara to Higgins. That results in all of Stonnington Council being placed in Higgins and all of Port Phillip Council being retained in Macnamara. Our objection also unites the suburb of Prahran in Higgins and the suburb of St Kilda East entirely in Macnamara. 2. Menzies/Deakin: Retain the existing southern boundary of Menzies, which is also a municipal, State and Federal boundary. With a major expansion of the Eastern Freeway, now being built, which will expand from eight lanes to up to 18 lanes in the very part of the Whitehorse Council area that is proposed to be sent to Menzies, these part suburbs are instead transferred to Deakin. In turn, Menzies is compensated by retaining Warranwood and regaining Croydon suburbs as has usually been the arrangement for Menzies since its establishment in 1990. 3. Tucker/Wannon: Fine tunes the Redistribution Committee’s proposal. Anglesea is retained in Tucker and instead several small localities right next door to the town of Winchelsea are transferred to Wannon. Overall, the two way exchange involves fewer than 4,000 electors at both the quota and future quota dates.
