If you require further information or clarification, please contact me using· the details below. Regards_, ____ State Secretary IJ walabor.org.au I) fb.com/walabor C @walabor Level 1, 22 Eastbrook Terrace, East Perth WA I PO Box 8117, Perth BC WA 6849 I 9328 7222 I [email protected] I ABN: 99 279 642 391 WA LABOR SUBMISSION ON WESTERN AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL REDISTRIBUTION The Australian Electoral Commission has determined that Western Australia must lose an electoral division. WA Labor’s submission proposes changes to the redrawing of a number of divisions on this basis. WA Labor’s submission seeks to minimise the movement of as many electors from one division to another as possible. Our proposed changes focus on areas where elector numbers vary most from required quotas, and on better aligning communities of interest as far as is necessary to accommodate a reduction in the number of divisions. Redrawing of divisions in the north metropolitan area is required for those divisions to meet quota requirements. The divisions of Cowan, Curtin, Perth, Moore and Stirling are all below quota and have low growth projections. In the east metropolitan area, the Division of Pearce has the highest variation from quota as well as the highest growth projections, while the Division of Hasluck falls below quota.

    To the Ministerial Expert Committee on Electoral Reform, Attached is my submission containing my ideas for the electoral reform of the Western Australian Legislative Council. Yours truly, Kyle Hawkins Submission to Electoral Reform Committee Background Some background might be necessary to establish my position. My name is Kyle Hawkins, I live in South Perth of the South Perth electorate on the state level and Division of Swan on the federal level. I am currently studying the Master of Professional Engineering at the University of Western Australia, with prior studies at undergrad level at the same institution, as well as at RMIT and Monash University. Though I have lived in Melbourne from 2013 to 2018, I am a proud Western Australian citizen at 26 years old and I am honoured to lived in this great state. Which is why when there are aspects about it that don’t work, I will make note of that such that they’ll be fixed. I believe we can make a great state even greater. Which brings me to the Legislative Council, the state level equivalent to the federal Senate. From what I understand, the upper house of any bicameral legislature is supposed to act as a kind of board of review, such that it filters out the worst, least practical or desirable aspects of any piece of legislation put forward in any bill passed by the lower house, the Legislative Assembly. With that in mind, let’s get some facts straight: the state contains 2.67 million people over a territory spanning 2.64 million sq km of land, with 92% living in the relatively fertile south-western corner of the state and 79% living in the metropolitan area of Perth, the state capital.

  • The NSW Redistribution 2005-06
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library RESEARCH BRIEF Information analysis and advice for the Parliament 1 February 2007, no. 8, 2006–07, ISSN 1832-2883 'Save Country Seats': the NSW redistribution 2005–06 The recently-completed redistribution for the NSW House of Representatives seats was unusually controversial. There was concern in rural areas over the loss of a country seat— which was also a ‘Federation’ seat—and dismay over the apparent pushing–aside of the ‘community of interest’ principle by the Redistribution Committee. The controversy revealed a lack of community understanding of the redistribution process and an apparent reluctance by the Australian Electoral Commission to engage fully with the public. This paper discusses the controversy, analyses the changes to the redistribution that were made as a result the controversy, and poses the question of whether the redistribution arrangements need alteration.

    Suggestion 15 David Liam Walsh 27 pages 18 October 2020 Dear Members of the Redistribution Committee for Western Australia, I’m pleased to submit my suggestion for the redrawing of Western Australia’s federal electoral boundaries. I hope you will find this useful in your deliberations. Yours Faithfully, David Walsh Outline For the purposes of electoral math, you can divide Western Australia up into four areas: • Perth metropolitan area - the urban, suburban, and peri-urban communities surrounding the capital. Its extent can be defined by the administrative areas sitting at its four corners: City of Wanneroo, City of Swan, City of Armadale, and City of Rockingham LGAs. (Note: this does not include Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale.) • Peel region - City of Mandurah, Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, Shire of Murray, Shire of Waroona, Shire of Boddington LGAs. • South West region - Shire of Harvey, City of Bunbury, Shire of Collie, Shire of Dardanup, Shire of Capel, Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup, City of Busselton, Shire of Augusta-Margaret River, Shire of Nannup, Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Shire of Boyup Brook, Shire of Manjimup LGAs. • Rural and outback WA - The large, sparsely populated rural and outback areas; covers the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, and Great Southern regions. Here’s how this looks on the provided enrolment figures, with each area’s share of the state’s new allocation of 15 seats: Region Enrolment Quotas Projected Quotas Perth metro 1,254,486 11.18 1,313,755 11.24 Peel 98,201 0.88 104,866 0.90 South West 124,610 1.11 131,115 1.12 Rural and outback WA 205,277 1.83 202,830 1.74 The present 16 seat electoral geography divides the state up into 11 Perth divisions, one Peel division (Canning), one South West division (Forrest), two rural/outback divisions (Durack and O’Connor) and one hybrid division straddling the Perth metropolitan and rural areas (Pearce).
