| 1 | Without a solid constitutional guarantee on which to hang such a case, the Court has been unwilling to follow the lead of the United States Supreme Court in such seminal cases as Baker v Carr47 and Reynolds v Sims.48 But these failures, and the exceptional Queensland and Western Australian systems aside, a political and legal consensus has emerged around a principle that, at the very maximum, no seat should be above or below a tolerance of 10% from the average enrolment. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 2 | The decision of the High Court in Australian Capital Television Pty Ltd v Commonwealth (ACTV) stands alongside more famous cases such as Mabo v Queensland (No 2)9 (dealing with the native title rights of Australia’s Indigenous peoples) as the high water mark of the activism of the High Court under Chief Justice Mason. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 3 | This consensus has allowed focus to shift to issues of redistribution practice, such as the timing of redistributions, mechanisms to project changing enrolment patterns, and the balancing of criteria such as community of interest and geographical contiguity with the now computer-managed task of drawing physical boundaries. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 4 | However, as Malcolm Mackerras argues, the Senate voting system is really only “semi-proportional” since minor parties must poll a significant primary vote to achieve the 14% quota for a normal half-Senate election, and usually only one seat per state is “up for grabs.” Increasing the number of Senators to be returned would decrease the quota, and in the long-run favor minor parties. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 5 | Although not written in the Constitution, this freedom was drawn from the provisions of the Constitution providing for direct elections and was seen as essential to the fabric of representative government. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 6 | Electoral petitioning by political parties has admittedly become less common in recent years, as the major parties have come to recognize the potential for voter backlash against being forced back to the polls. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 7 | But in any event, as long as minor party, independent and protest voting runs at current levels of 15–20%, significant reform favoring the parties of government is unlikely to be popular, and tinkering at the edges of the quotas is unlikely to affect the number of hung Senates. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 8 | Under s 51(xxvi) of the Constitution, the Australian Parliament has the power to make laws with respect to “the people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws.” This power might be used to create Indigenous quotas (unless this is seen by the High Court as inconsistent with the direction in ss 7 and 24 of the Constitution that Parliament be “directly chosen by the people”). This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 9 | Party registration was first introduced as a measure to support the administration of the public funding and disclosure regime. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 10 | The DLP advanced arguments based on the ACTVprinciple, as well as administrative law grounds, but lost at trial. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 11 | But this was read down in Evans v Chricton-Browne to cover only statements likely to mislead electors as to howto cast their votes. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 12 | Without a Bill of Rights or even the entrenchment of basic democratic principles such as the right to vote, the Australian High Court has played only a minor role in the development of this field of law. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 13 | This article began as an issues paper for our Electoral Law Research project, and was tabled at the Electoral Law Conference, Sydney, 5–6 December 2002. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 14 | This remains the case today, as Australia is now the only western nation without a Bill of Rights in some form. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 15 | This, combined with a judicial reluctance to imply new rights into the text of the Constitution (such as from general conceptions of democracy), has meant that Australian courts rarely subject electoral laws to judicial review on rights grounds. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 16 | ACTV struck down federal legislation banning paid broadcast advertising during election campaigns as unconstitutional. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 17 | This might have included judicial review of electoral legislation with regard to notions of free and fair elections, as well as rights and freedoms developed by the judiciary. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 18 | The House of Representatives voted on party lines to uphold his qualifications and not refer the matter to the courts.20 Yet any person, invoking the “common informer” provisions, can litigate such an issue and the point can also be used as an “irregularity” to found a post-election petition (assuming the member’s disqualification remains at the following election). This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 19 | In either case, the independence of the judiciary could be tested, as the court would need to decide on the relevance of Parliament’s prior ruling (made in all likelihood on party lines) on the member’s qualifications. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 20 | Even then, full equality at Commonwealth elections did not eventuate until 1983, when enrolment for and voting in Commonwealth elections were made compulsory for Aboriginal, as it already was for other Australians. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
