It contains details of voting for all Legislative Assembly districts, excluding Londonderry, where a supplementary election will be conducted on 31 May following the death of the sitting MP and Labor candidate Mr Jim Anderson. The paper also includes details of the primary votes for the Legislative Council. A final version of this paper will be prepared after the Londonderry poll when more information on two- party preferred votes and distribution of preferences in both houses becomes available. For each Legislative Assembly electorate, full details of primary and two-candidate preferred votes are provided. The format and calculations used in the electorate results are as follows. First Count: The votes shown for each candidate are the total primary votes received. Percentage votes are calculated as a percentage of the formal vote for each electorate. Swing is calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by a party at the previous election from the percentage received at the current election. Where the parties contesting the district differ from the previous election, ‘ghost’ candidates (indicated by "....") have been included representing candidates not contesting the current election. As a result, all primary swings add to zero, subject to rounding errors. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution of preferences in an electorate. All votes that did not indicate a preference to the two remaining candidates are included in the total listed as Exhausted. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote by the votes remaining in the count, that is the formal vote minus the exhausted vote. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the final candidates from the previous election. Where the party composition of the final two candidates differs from the previous election (e.g. Tamworth), ghost candidates appear and more than two swing figures are shown. Two-Candidate versus Two-Party Preferred results To win an electorate, a candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote after the distribution of preferences. The distribution of preferences is performed by successively excluding candidates with the lowest primary vote and distributing that candidate’s votes as preferences to other candidates remaining in the count. At the end of the count, the vote for the two final candidates is referred to as the 'two-candidate preferred vote'. In most electorates, this will be the same as the 'two-party preferred vote’, representing the final distribution of preferences between candidates representing the Labor Party, and the Liberal and National Party Coalition. However, there were 13 electorates at the 2003 New South Wales election that did not finish with two-party preferred counts. Five finished as National/Independent contests (Coffs Harbour, Dubbo, Northern Tablelands, Port Macquarie, Tamworth), three as Liberal/Independent contests (Albury, Manly, Willoughby), three as Labor/Green contests (Keira, Marrickville, Port Jackson) and two others as Labor/Independent finishes (Bligh, Wollongong). Two-party preferred counts are not available for these electorates. In the past, two-preferred party counts have been made available at a later date. By-Elections and Sitting MP Indicators By-elections have been ignored in preparing the results for each electorate, and all swings are shown compared to the results of the 1999 election. Details of the four by-elections conducted between 1999 and 2003 can be found on page 40. An asterisk "*" is used to indicate any candidate who was a sitting Legislative Assembly MP. In Port Macquarie, Independent MP Rob Oakeshott is shown as the sitting MP despite originally being elected for the National Party. In Tamworth, the National Party’s John Cull won the seat at a by- election on 8 December 2001 and is shown as the sitting MP. 1 NSW Election 2003 Note that in both seats, swings are measured against votes for parties and candidates as they contested the 1999 election. In Port Macquarie, this means Mr Oakeshott’s 1999 vote is shown as the vote for the National Party, while he is shown as having no historical vote. In Tamworth, results of the by-election have been ignored. Australian Labor Party and Country Labor At the 2003 election, 22 Labor Party candidates nominated as Country Labor. In this publication, this distinction has been ignored, and all candidates are shown as representing Labor or the ALP. When the final version of this publication is prepared, more detailed analysis of the two parties will be provided. Disclaimer All results are based on preliminary details made available by the NSW State Electoral Office. However, responsibility for all calculations and omissions is taken by the author. Note that due to rounding errors, some tables do not add to exactly 100%. Acknowledgements My thanks to the NSW Electoral Commissioner, Mr John Wasson, for all his assistance in providing the results of the state election. My particular thanks go to Ms Monica Floyd and Mr Terry Jessop of the State Electoral Office, and Mr Ian Brightwell of Hansen Technologies for their assistance in providing election results in computer readable format. 2 NSW Election 2003 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY STATE-WIDE TOTALS ROLL 4 272 104 Candi- Seats Party dates Won Change Votes % Vote Swing Labor Party / Country Labor 92 55 .. 1 613 734 42.59 +0.38 Liberal Party 71 20 .. 944 888 24.94 +0.12 National Party 21 12 -1 368 004 9.71 +0.84 The Greens 92 .. .. 312 982 8.26 +4.38 Independent 93 6 +1 304 414 8.03 +2.92 Christian Democrats 51 .. .. 64 083 1.69 +0.20 Unity 51 .. .. 49 597 1.31 +0.25 One Nation 55 .. .. 47 805

  • Submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters Inquiry Into the Conduct of the 2013 Federal Election
    11 April 2014 Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters Parliament House Canberra ACT Please find attached my submission to the Committee's inquiry into the conduct of the 2013 federal election. In my submission I make suggestions for changes to political party registration under the Commonwealth Electoral Act. I also suggest major changes to Senate's electoral system given the evident problems at lasty year's election as well as this year's re-run of the Western Australian Senate election. I also make modest suggestions for changes to formality rules for House of Representatives elections. I have attached a substantial appendix outlining past research on NSW Legislative Council Elections. This includes ballot paper surveys from 1999 and research on exhaustion rates under the new above the line optional preferential voting system used since 2003. I can provide the committee with further research on the NSW Legislative Council system, as well as some ballot paper research I have been carrying out on the 2013 Senate election. I am happy to discuss my submission with the Committee at a hearing.

  • 2003 New South Wales Election
    2003 New South Wales Election Antony Green * On 22 March 2003 the NSW Labor Government led by Premier Bob Carr became the first government in Australia to win three consecutive four-year terms. The election brought little change to the composition of the Houses or in the vote. This account analyses the election result in the light of the fortunes of both Government and Opposition in the previous four years. The New South Wales election on 22 March 2003 was the third in the State since introduction of fixed four-year terms. As with its two predecessors, the election produced a campaign that struggled to move out of first gear. With fixed terms having denied the media and political parties the adrenalin fix of early election speculation, a peculiar form of political ballet seems to have developed, where the Government denies it has begun campaigning, the Opposition insists the Government has, and the media avoid treating the contest as a real campaign for as long as possible. As in 1995 and 1999, the Parliament was adjourned at the end of the previous year to a notional sitting week in February, providing a safety net in case Parliament needed to be re-convened. Parliament was prorogued on 31 January, though the campaign could not formally begin until the fixed-term provisions dissolved the Legislative Assembly on 28 February. 1 Writs were issued on the same day producing a 23-day campaign, four days longer than the minimum allowed under legislation. Nevertheless, this was still shorter than the minimum period permitted in any other state, and 10 days short of the minimum for Commonwealth elections.

  • Profiles of Minor Parties and Their Positions Within the Australian Political Landscapes of ‘Racism’, 1999 and 2003 New South Wales State Elections 1
    Stephen Smith, UNSW, New South Wales (StephenS@fbe.unsw.edu.au) Chasing the ‘race’ and ‘ethnic’ votes: Profiles of minor parties and their positions within the Australian political landscapes of ‘racism’, 1999 and 2003 New South Wales State Elections 1 Introduction The candidate standings, political agenda and voter support base of a political party provide indications of the geography of their voter support, and where the messages from their political agenda resonate strongest among the body politic. My research focuses on the candidate standings and the voter support bases of Australians Against Further Immigration (AAFI), One Nation (ONP) and Unity (UNI) in Greater Sydney at the 1999 and 2003 NSW State elections. The Greater Sydney region consists of fifty-six of the NSW Legislative Assembly’s ninety-three electorates. These electorates are located in the Central Coast, Sydney Metropolitan and Blue Mountains regions. The total numbers of registered voters in these electorates totalled over 2.5 million people. I have also examined the ‘political agendas’ on immigration and multiculturalism presented by the three parties, made comparisons with international parties, and looked at how the conditionality of the political landscape impact upon the activities and success of minor parties. Literature on Australian minor parties can best be described as fairly limited. Discussion of AAFI (see Economou, 1999 and Newman, 1995) and UNI (see Healy, 1999 and 2001 and Money, 1999) has been especially scarce. There has been more prominent coverage given to the ONP (for example see Goot, 1998; Goot and Watson, 2001; Johnson, 1998 and 2000 and Maddox, 2000). There has been greater coverage given to minor parties in the international context, especially on far right-wing minor parties in Western Europe.

  • Analysing the Geography of Minor Parties at Australian State and Federal Elections, 1997-2006
    A dynamic electorate? Analysing the geography of minor parties at Australian state and federal elections, 1997-2006. Stephen Smith Bachelor of Arts (Honours) UNSW A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Smith First name(s): Stephen Joseph Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: 1081 PhD in Geography School: Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberra Title: A dynamic electorate? Analysing the geography of minor parties at Australian state and federal elections, 1997-2006. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Australian minor parties have played an important role in the Australian electoral landscape, yet have received sporadic coverage in Australian electoral geography literature. The dearth of coverage of minor parties has been evident in the contemporary context. This thesis seeks to broaden knowledge of geographies of minor parties through an investigation of Australian state and federal elections conducted between 1997 and 2006. Six minor parties are investigated in this thesis: Australians Against Further Immigration, Australian Democrats, Family First, The Greens, One Nation and Unity. To conduct this investigation, a conceptual framework that combines an assessment of geographies of electoral performance, presence and participation was developed. A mixed methods approach incorporating qualitative and quantitative methodologies and assessments of three case study elections were adopted. This thesis has been informed by an interest in the contemporary experiences of minor parties as participants in Australian electoral settings.
