  • The Effect of Observable Party Cohesion on Voter Choice in Liberal Democracies
    PhD in Political Science The effect of observable party cohesion on voter choice in liberal democracies. Candidate David Jack Barrett Supervisor Michael Gallagher September 2017 2 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Date Signature 3 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help of a large number of people, and I would like to take the opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to them. First, my supervisor Michael Gallagher has truly been extraordinarily helpful, providing comments and feedback at every point in the last four years, often at quite short notice. His encouragement and advice both on this thesis, but also in teaching and to attending conferences has always been wonderful. Certainly no one could have asked for a more patient and forgiving supervisor. This thesis would have been impossible without the financial support provided by the Irish Research Council (IRC) and by the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. My work is deeply in the debt of many scholars. James Davidson in the University of Exeter though, especially, provided me with much of the data used in Chapter Five in this thesis that he had gathered for his own research, and answered my endless questions regarding it, without which this research would have been impossible.

  • East Melbourne Group Yarra Park Election Flyer
    HOW TO USE YOUR VOTE ON SATURDAY TO SAVE YARRA PARK YARRA PARK SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE. BUT IT’S UNDER THREAT. A proposal by the Melbourne Football Club to build new administration and training facilities in and around heritage-listed parklands would see a six-storey office block constructed over the rail line, along with a separate apartment building to the west, and almost two hectares of public land repurposed for an elite training oval. The building would not only obstruct famous views across Wellington Parade to the MCG, but also cast much of the park into darkness by blocking the northern sunshine. And the new oval and headquarters would require the removal of historic trees, many of which formed part of Melbourne’s early landscaping plans. © 2018 Google Which candidates oppose the In the leadup to Saturday’s State To read the full responses please Demons’ development plans Election, the East Melbourne Group go to emg.org.au/current-issues for Yarra Park? sent questionnaires to candidates in the Melbourne electorate, asking them whether they oppose this ill-considered proposal.

Introduction: This submission to the above Inquiry by the Victoria-Tasmania Branch of the Proportional Representation Society of Australia deals in detail with the Victorian Legislative Council, the House of Parliament in which the range of opinions expressed by voters is represented most fairly and accurately. Table 1 below, which compares the overall percentages of first preference votes received and the percentage of seats won, shows that the Legislative Council corresponds to the will of the voters in party terms much more closely than the Legislative Assembly does.

    Report to Parliament on the 2018 Victorian State election 1 The VEC pays respect to Victoria’s traditional owners and their elders past and present who have been custodians of this country for many thousands of years. Their living culture and their role in the life of Victoria is acknowledged by the VEC. © State of Victoria (Victorian Electoral Commission) October 2019 This work, Report to Parliament on the 2018 Victorian State election, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/].

At 90.16%, this was nearly 3% below that of 2014 and the lowest turnout since 1945. This is addressed in the report but it does reflect the wider situation in Australia. It may in part be a consequence of the very high enrolment participation existing in Victoria where, through direct enrolment action, 96.60% of the estimated eligible voting population is enrolled. The 2018 State election was notable in several areas. At the close of roll, over 4.14 million electors were registered to vote – an increase of over Foreword 333,000 electors in a four-year period, in turn increasing the demand for voting services across Victorian electors went to the polls on 24 the State.

  • Room for Improvement: the Quality of Debate in Upper
    121 Room for Improvement: The Quality of Debate in Upper Houses in Australia* Patrick O’Brien Secretary, Legislative Council of Victoria Standing Committees * Double-blind reviewed article. ‘Policy, belief, courage and vision are essential elements in ensuring Australia’s future and its role as global citizen. All these depend on our mastery of evidence and our capacity to define and debate. Without this, Australia will remain lost in a dark alley’.1 INTRODUCTION This article focuses on the quality of debate in Australian Parliaments. While much significant negotiating and persuasion happens outside of the Parliaments, the subject and method of debate within the chambers remains an important barometer of the health of parliamentary democracy in Australia. Is our democracy in rude health, or has it become another symptom of the ‘crisis in democracy’ engulfing much of the world? The article begins with a brief review of the perceived state of democracy in the world and in our own Parliaments in Australia. The rest of the article is divided into two sections. The first discusses the current level of debate in Parliaments across Australia, particularly in upper houses during second reading debates and Committee of the Whole. I chose these forums because upper house second reading debates and Committee of the Whole stages are most likely to reveal Members’ understanding of policy issues and legislation through testing their knowledge and ability to explain their views; and because they allow independent Members to be persuaded as to the merits of the legislation that major parties wish to pass. They are where interaction between 1 B.

  • THE PREFERENCE WHISPERER Mr Glenn Druery Is the Most Famous Of
    EMC Submission No. 12 Supplementary Submission 1 Received 16 September 2019 CHAPTER SIX: THE PREFERENCE WHISPERER Mr Glenn Druery is the most famous of Australia’s several electoral analysts who go under the title of “preference whisperer”. He is said to be an unpleasant individual. I would not know since I have only met him once. On Tuesday 1 March 2016 we both gave evidence to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters relating to the then Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016, which became the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Act 2016. We concluded the morning by having lunch with then Senator Ricky Muir and his wife. Certainly Druery struck me as boastful – but then he does have a lot to be boastful about! The best example of the demonisation of Druery came in the 16 March 2019 issue of The Weekend Australian Magazine, the article by Kate Legge. It had a photo of Druery on its cover, called him “the player” and advertised that readers would meet him through the article. It began on page 15 with this statement and this question: “Glenn Druery claims he is a champion of political diversity. Or is he just gaming the system?” Here is the article in full: Political croupier Glenn Druery deals preferences for minor parties. Transport Matters; Aussie Battler, Shooters, Fishers and Farmers; Sustainable Australia. .an alphabet soup of brands, some with barely enough members to register. Whether they shout out for a single cause or exist merely to snare unsuspecting voters who would rather clean out their sock drawer than fill in a ballot paper, Druery gives them their best chance at success.
