| 1 | 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 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | At a little over 2% of the national population, the Indigenous population is so diluted that it would not be feasible, except perhaps in the relatively lightly populated Northern Territory, to experiment with the United States solution of drawing “majority-minority” constituencies (so called because race conscious apportionment is used to ensure at least a few geographically based seats are dominated by minorities). This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | (“Rorting” is an idiomatic term used to cover any self-serving malfeasance, whether illegal or not.) Pre-selections are party ballots, or other internal mechanisms, to determine a party’s official endorsement of candidates for public elections. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 7 | At a minimum, such private codes and their application needs to be studied, so that the reasoning used in dealing with complaints about electoral advertising is scrutinized and publicly available. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
