    5 2WKHULVVXHV Funding and disclosure Funding entitlements 5.1 Part XX of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Electoral Act) provides for public funding of election campaigns to be made available to candidates and political parties who receive at least four per cent of the formal first preference vote. This funding ensures candidates are not disadvantaged in their appeal to electors or unduly influenced in their subsequent actions by lack of access to adequate funding. 5.2 Mr and Mrs Whitton, Mr Arthur Tuck and Mr Goldstiver call for the elimination of public funding to political parties for election campaigns.1 G W Spence and Mr Lockett suggest a restriction be placed on the amount that can be spent on election campaigns to reduce the amount of public funding necessary.2 5.3 The public funding entitlements for the 1998 federal election, including the Newcastle supplementary election, totalled $33,920,787.43. The funding rate was 162.210 cents per vote3 and this has been paid to party agents and independent candidates as shown in Table 5.1. 1 Submissions pp S592 (H&M.Whitton), S667 (M.Goldstiver) and S1844 (A.Tuck) 2 Submissions pp S214 (GW.Spence) and S632-S633 (E.Lockett) 3 Australian Electoral Commission. 1999.

  • Chapter Three
    3 (OHFWLRQGD\ Polling booths 3.1 The distribution of polling booths is reviewed after each election and after a redistribution of electoral boundaries. The benchmark for appointing a polling place in metropolitan areas is 1,000-1,200 votes and for rural areas is 200 votes. When any polling place is abolished, the benchmark is 100 votes, but the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) also considers other factors such as alternative facilities and commonality with the location of state polling booths.1 As a result of this process, 7,775 polling places were gazetted for the 1998 federal election.2 3.2 The AEC determines the location of polling booths by taking into account a mixture of historical factors, demographics, electoral boundaries, analysis of recent election voter trends and special circumstances that might apply at a particular election.3 3.3 Polling places are usually appointed and gazetted only once during an electoral cycle: in the immediate lead up to an election so as to allow for changes to the demographics of the voter catchment and any late developments in the availability of booth sites. Under s80(2) of the Electoral Act, a polling place cannot be abolished after the issue of writs for an election.4 The Committee believes there should be some scope for appealing the decisions on the location of polling booths. 1 Submissions p S1166 (AEC) 2 Australian Electoral Commission. 1999.

  • An Adornian Rhetorical Analysis of the Emotional Appeal of Pauline Hanson's One Nation
    POPULIST DISCOURSE: AN ADORNIAN RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EMOTIONAL APPEAL OF PAULINE HANSON'S ONE NATION By Christina Laura Bobrowski BA Hons A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA November 2004 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the candidate's knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Christina Laura Bobrowski November 2004 STATEMENT OF AUTHORITY OF ACCESS This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Christina Laura Bobrowski November 2004 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a sociological explanation for the electoral appeal of Pauline Hanson's One Nation (PHON) by performing a discourse analysis of the parties manifesto. This manifesto is comprised of the public speeches, parliamentary speeches and media releases of PHON delivered during the period of Hanson's term in the Australian Federal Parliament 1996-1998. The analysis is a synthesis of methodological approaches originated by Theodor Adorn° and Erving Goffrnan. These approaches are rhetorical analysis and frame analysis. The combination of these approaches augmented by the simultaneous identification of key thematic domains allows the discourse analysis to be linked to issues canvassed by the Australian Election Study 1998 (AES 1998). It is proposed in the thesis that Hanson's political style is of the populist type that is demonstrated to be increasingly prevalent in Western politics.
