Book Description
This book attempts to present the facts about the Hare-Clark system in an unbiased manner. In so doing it hopes to set out for Tasmanians and a wider readership the history of Tasmania's unique electoral experiment. Also it hopes to spark interest and generate discussion regarding the factors which surround the riddle that is Hare-Clark. This is attempted by placing Hare-Clark in a wider general context of what an electoral system in supposed to achieve, and by presenting the structural elements set in place by the Parliament to control the system. Readers will find information here which covers the impact of the Hare-Clark system on the membership of the House of Assembly, and of course election results are presented for those interested in the final data of these elections. But readers will also find plenty to digest concerning the consequences of the Hare-Clark system, not least as to whether or not the system favours Independents.

Elections
Author: Marian Sawer
Publisher: Federation Press
ISBN: 9781862873957
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Australia was the first nation to invent itself through the ballot box and has become a country renowned for democratic innovations, from the secret ballot to adult suffrage and Saturday elections. Many of these reforms are now benchmarks of democracy. Yet the equity of Australia's electoral process continues to be challenged. Does Australia have full, free and fair elections? The authors of this informative, entertaining volume tell of political forces and personalities which have shaped Australia's electoral system. They describe how Australia became a pacesetter, why it experimented so much and whether the experiments have worked. They go on to consider what could and should be done, and the major modern challenges. Are party politics and pre-selections a corrupting influence? What is the impact of a mobile and scattered population? How widespread are the 'rorts'? Could we have a 'Florida' down under? Elections - Full, Free and Fair is an edited volume on Australian electoral history and innovations, providing a broad commentary on continuing democratic challenges. This well-researched book on democracy and electoral justice covers topics of perennial importance. The project was supported by the ANU, the Australian Electoral Commission, Old Parliament House and the Parliamentary Education Office.
