Jane Aagaard MLA Speaker Northern Territory Legislative Assembly Parliament House DARWIN NT 0800 Dear Madam Speaker In accordance with Section 313 of the Electoral Act 2004, I am pleased to provide a report on the conduct of the 2008 Northern Territory Legislative Assembly General Election. As you are aware, the Electoral Act requires you to table this report in the Legislative Assembly within three sittings days after its receipt. Additional copies have been provided for this purpose. Yours sincerely Bill Shepheard Electoral Commissioner 19 November 2009 ELECTORAL COMMISSIONER’S FOREWORD The 2008 Legislative Assembly General Election was the second general election to be conducted under the Electoral Act 2004. The first was conducted by the Commission in 2005 which made a number of recommendations for legislative change following that particular poll. The Act remained unaltered, however, and many of the difficulties and challenges faced in 2005 had to be dealt with again in 2008. The Legislative Assembly election was also the third major electoral event conducted by the NT Electoral Commission in the space of only a few months in 2008. The municipal general elections were conducted in March of that year and the 2008 Legislative Assembly redistribution of electoral boundaries, including the painstaking Photo: Bill Shepheard task of realigning the electoral roll to the new boundaries, had only just been completed when the election was called. The Legislative Assembly poll was also suddenly wedged between those preceding electoral commitments and the inaugural shire and rural council general elections scheduled for October 2008 – resulting in virtually a full calendar year of rolling major electoral events for the Commission. The outcome of the 2008 Legislative Assembly General Election was also very close. In fact, the government’s majority rested on the result in the seat of Fannie Bay, which was eventually decided by only a small number of votes. Considerable public interest in the result of the poll was consequently generated and this prolonged pressure on the Commission’s staff and systems. The raw voter turnout figure (no. of voters/no. of enrolled electors) declined at the 2008 election. This became a hot topic in the media for some time after the poll, with a great deal of speculation being proffered in the media about the causes. Later, more measured and careful analysis of the situation suggests that a number of factors were at play in this decline, not the least of which was the quality of the roll of electors and less mobilisation activity in remote areas by candidates and parties. After the 2008 general election, amendments to the Electoral Act were implemented to provide for fixed general election dates and an extension by a day to the election period. Those changes have to a large degree dealt with a few of the recommendations made by the Commission in its report on the 2005 Legislative Assembly election; however, as this report records, little has changed in respect to the Commission’s support for the remainder of those earlier recommendations. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank staff from agencies inside and outside of the NT public service for their support, including officers from the NT Department of Business and Employment and the Australian, Tasmanian and Victorian Electoral Commissions. I particularly thank and congratulate the staff members of the NT Electoral Commission for their extraordinary commitment and resilience during the general election and in the other major electoral events that surrounded it. The workload and demands placed upon them were unprecedented and to deal with it all so competently and successfully is truly a great credit to them.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The 2008 general election was held early in the fourth year of the NT Parliamentary term. The writ for the election was issued on 22 July 2008 and provided for the following: Close of rolls 8 pm 24 July 2008 Close of nominations 12 Noon 28 July 2008 Polling day 9 August 2008 Return of writ By 15 September 2008 1.1 Key Result Area – Enrolment Over the three day close of rolls period to 24 July 2008, a total of 2066 forms were received. This included 1002 additions to the NT roll, with the balance being for change of address within the Territory or other amendments to enrolment details. At the close of rolls, 119 814 electors were enrolled to vote, a 6.0% increase over the previous 12 months and an increase of 7860 electors or 7.0% on the number registered at the 2005 general election. The quality of the roll at the election suffered to some extent by the combination of the sudden calling of the election and a change of policy by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) that effectively extended turnaround time for the removal of electors from the roll by objection. Fixed general election dates in the future will largely address this issue. The gazettal of the redistribution report and ensuing realignment of electoral boundaries had only just been completed when the election was called. As a consequence, plans to notify electors affected by the changes to boundaries had to be reviewed and modified. Fixed general election dates will now ensure that future redistributions, realignment of boundaries and elector notification can take place in a more planned and orderly way. 1.2 Key Result Area – Education and Information Immediately on the announcement of the date of the election, the Northern Territory Electoral Commission (NTEC) commenced the public awareness campaign. In addition to the statutory notices placed in the press, advertising focussed on providing electors with information on the close of rolls deadline and changes to divisional boundaries arising from the 2008 redistribution.

  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

  • 2012 Legislative Assembly Election (PDF, 3.7MB)
    The Hon K Purick MLA Speaker Northern Territory Legislative Assembly Parliament House Darwin NT 0800 Madam Speaker In accordance with Section 313 of the Electoral Act, I am pleased to provide a report on the conduct of the 2012 Northern Territory Legislative Assembly General Elections. The Electoral Act requires this report to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly within three sittings days after its receipt. Additional copies have been provided for this purpose. Bill Shepheard Electoral Commissioner 24 April 2014 ELECTORAL COMMISSIONER’S FOREWORD The 2012 Legislative Assembly General Elections (LAGE) were the third general elections to be conducted under the NT Electoral Act 2004 (NTEA). The 2012 LAGE was also conducted under the substantially revised NTEA which had a significant impact on operational processes and planning arrangements. Set term elections were provided for in 2009, along with a one-day extension to the election timeframe. Further amendments with operational implications received assent in December 2011 and were in place for the August 2012 elections. A number of these changes were prescribed for both the local government and parliamentary electoral framework and, to some extent, brought the legislation into a more contemporary operating context and also aligned its features with those of other jurisdictions. The NTEC workload before the 2012 LAGE was particularly challenging. It was the second major electoral event conducted by the NTEC within the space of a few months. Local government general elections for five municipalities and ten shire councils were conducted on 24 March 2012, the first time their elections had all been held on the same day.

  • Building an Implementation Framework for Agreements with Aboriginal Landowners: a Case Study of the Granites Mine
    Building an Implementation Framework for Agreements with Aboriginal Landowners: A Case Study of The Granites Mine Rodger Donald Barnes BSc (Geol, Geog) Hons James Cook University A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of Architecture Abstract This thesis addresses the important issue of implementation of agreements between Aboriginal people and mining companies. The primary aim is to contribute to developing a framework for considering implementation of agreements by examining how outcomes vary according to the processes and techniques of implementation. The research explores some of the key factors affecting the outcomes of agreements through a single case study of The Granites Agreement between Newmont Mining Corporation and traditional Aboriginal landowners made under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (NT) 1976. This is a fine-grained longitudinal study of the origins and operation of the mining agreement over a 28-year period from its inception in 1983 to 2011. A study of such depth and scope of a single mining agreement between Aboriginal people and miners has not previously been undertaken. The history of The Granites from the first European contact with Aboriginal people is compiled, which sets the study of the Agreement in the context of the continued adaption by Warlpiri people to European colonisation. The examination of the origins and negotiations of the Agreement demonstrates the way very disparate interests between Aboriginal people, government and the mining company were reconciled. A range of political agendas intersected in the course of making the Agreement which created an extremely complex and challenging environment not only for negotiations but also for managing the Agreement once it was signed.
