| 1 | Our concern is with electoral law proper and we leave boundary questions about the nature of parliamentary democracy, such as the length and flexibility of parliamentary terms and qualifications for election, to the broader field of constitutional law. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 2 | Our discussion is confined to parliamentary elections in Australia, as opposed to the broader field, which includes local authority, trade union, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) and even corpo- Graeme Orr is Senior Lecturer, Griffith Law School, Brisbane, Australia.

| 3 | A related, if secondary cause is a traditional reluctance on the part of many judges to involve themselves in an area felt to be better left to parliamentary debate and independent electoral administration. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 4 | CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS AND THE ROLE OF THE COURTS The High Court and judicial review of electoral legislation The Australian Constitution establishes a federal system of government comprising parliamentary government, democratic elections, responsible government, an independent High Court, the rule of law and the separation of powers. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 5 | However, with roots in the Westminster tradition, including a heavy reliance upon parliamentary sovereignty rather than judicial review, it is not surprising that Australia achieved nationhood in 1901 without a Bill of Rights. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 6 | The decision opened up the possibility of a shift in position from relative parliamentary license in the construction of electoral law to routine judicial review. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 7 | This would have thrown disputed elections back to parliamentary committees or other non-independent government bodies ruling on the validity of national electoral outcomes. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 8 | The term “common law of elections” has been used to refer both to judge-made law and parliamentary committee law, particularly from the United Kingdom, made prior to the codification of electoral legislation. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 9 | The most famous case is Woodward v Sarsons (1875),27 which addressed administrative problems with the newly enacted secret ballot legislation by invoking the “common law of parliamentary elections.” In Woodward, an eminent bench held that an election could be voided on two grounds: (a) if there was “no real electing at all”—meaning the constituency did not have a free and fair opportunity of electing the candidate the majority might prefer; or (b) if the election was “not really conductedunder the subsisting election laws”— meaning the errors were so fundamental that, in a sense, a different method of election was used to that laid down in the legislation.28 The application of these tests is a matter of great conjecture. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 10 | Representation and voting systems Generally, the parliamentary model of representation that applies at the national level in Australia is replicated in those states that have bicameral parliaments. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 11 | The second fundamental issue about parliamentary design concerns Indigenous representation. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 12 | However, the obvious alternative model, viz making appointments subject to an open process of parliamentary scrutiny (in line with the United States model of Senate review of significant federal appointments) may simply result in a greater politicization of appointments. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 13 | As a study by John Uhr suggests, the history of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters has been rewarding in this regard.93 It has tended to institutionalize parliamentary review of federal electoral law and practice and ensured both public and expert input into a rolling process of law reform. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
