2008 Western Australian Election

1

INTRODUCTION This paper provides a summary of the 2008 Western Australian election. It contains details of voting for all Legislative Assembly districts and summaries of voting for the Legislative Council. The 2008 election was the first held following the introduction of one-vote one-value electoral boundaries for Legislative Assembly elections. There was also a change to the number of members elected for each Legislative Council Region. The Legislative Assembly was increased in size from 57 to 59 seats and a single state wide enrolment quota adopted for drawing electoral boundaries. A large district allowance was introduced that permitted electorates above 100,000 square kilometres in area to qualify for a lower enrolment. The new boundaries saw the number of non-metropolitan electorates fall from 23 to 17, while the number of Perth electorates rose from 34 to 42. In the Legislative Council, equal representation between Perth and non-metropolitan areas was retained. The size of the Legislative Council was increased from 34 to 36, with 18 representing Perth regions and 18 non-metropolitan regions. The number of members elected from each region was equalised at six, replacing the previous system of electing five or seven members per region. A summary of changes to Legislative Assembly districts can be found on page 50 of this publication. This includes some notes on the new seats contested by sitting members. It should be noted that following the release of polling booths for the 2008 election, there were some minor adjustments made to the estimated margins in seats. These may differ slightly from those published previously in the publication “2007 Redistribution Western Australia: Analysis of Final Electoral Boundaries”, Western Australia Parliamentary Library Election Papers Series No. 2/2007. Sitting Members and Holding Parties In all comparisons of results, seats are classified as being notionally held by parties based on 2005 results adjusted for the redistribution. In the seats of Albany, Bunbury, Darling Range and Geraldton, sitting MPs contested seats notionally held by an opposing party. In Nedlands, Kalgoorlie and Morley, MPs who had resigned from their former party re-contested as Independents. Appropriate footnoting has been used to highlight seats where there may be confusion over defining which party held a seat. There were two contests between sitting MPs. Liberal MP for Capel Steve Thomas and Labor MP for Collie-Wellington Mick Murray contested the new notionally Labor seat of Collie-Preston. National MP for the abolished electorate of Greenough Grant Woodhams contested Moore against sitting Liberal MP Gary Snook. An asterisk "*" is used to indicate any candidate who was a sitting member in the old parliament, even where the MP is contesting a different district. This includes the cases listed in the previous paragraph where a seat is classed as being notionally held by a different party. Details of members who contested a different electorate can be found in the redistribution summary on page 50. Four members nominated for election to a different chamber to the one they represented in the old parliament. MLAs Max Trenorden and Dan Sullivan contested the Legislative Council, with Trenorden elected for Agricultural Region. Labor MLCs Vincent Catania and Graham Giffard contested the Legislative Assembly, with Catania winning election as MLA for North West. Two-Candidate Preferred versus Two-Party Preferred Results The two-candidate preferred count for an electorate is defined as the final tally after the exclusion and distribution as preferences of votes from all other candidates. At each stage of the count, the candidate with the fewest votes is excluded, and his or her votes are distributed to candidates remaining in the count based on the voter's preferences as filled in on the ballot paper. To achieve victory, a candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote remaining in the count, though in electorates where a candidate achieves victory either on the primary vote or before the final

distribution of preferences, the two-candidate preferred count is carried out in full for information purposes only. The two-party preferred count represents a distribution of preferences between candidates representing the Labor Party and the Liberal-National Party Coalition. Candidates are again excluded based on lowest progressive vote, though at some point the second lowest candidate is excluded to retain candidates representing Labor and the Coalition. In most cases, the two-party preferred count will be the same as the two-candidate preferred count. At the 2008 election, eight districts (Alfred Cove, Blackwood-Stirling, Central Wheatbelt, Eyre, Kalgoorlie, Kwinana, Moore, Wagin) did not finish as two-party preferred contests. In these districts the Western Australian Electoral Commission conducted separate two-party preferred counts between Labor and Liberal candidates. In Churchlands, there was no Liberal candidate and the final two-party preferred count between Labor and the Independent MP has been used as the two-party preferred count. Pilbara was the only electorate at the 2008 election where the two-party preferred count used the two-candidate preferred count between Labor and National candidates. Format for Legislative Assembly Results. For each Legislative Assembly district, details of the total primary and two-candidate preferred vote are provided. Where appropriate, a two-party preferred count is also included. The format for the results is as follows: First Count: For each candidate, the total primary vote received is shown. Percentage votes are calculated as a percentage of the formal vote for each electorate. Swing is calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by a party at the 2005 election from the percentage received at the 2008 election. Where the parties contesting the district differ from the 2005 election, ‘ghost’ candidates (indicated by “….”) have been included representing candidates not contesting the current election. As a result, all primary swings add to zero, subject to rounding errors. All votes from 2005 have been adjusted to take account of the redistribution. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution of preferences in an electorate. All formal votes that did not indicate a preference for the final two candidates are included in the total listed as exhausted. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote for a candidate by the total votes remaining in the count, that is the formal votes minus the total of exhausted votes. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the results of the 2005 election. Where the party composition of the final two candidates differs from the 2005 election (eg Kalgoorlie), ghost candidates appear, and three or four swing figures are shown. 2-Party Preferred: This appears in seats that did not finish as contests between Labor and Liberal or National candidates. It shows the change in vote on an alternate two-party preferred basis since the last election. Exhausted Votes Under the WA Electoral Act, ballot papers with a valid first preference vote, but with duplicate or broken sequences of preferences remain in the count as formal votes. This category of vote is often termed a ‘Langer’ vote, after the political activist who advocated voting in this manner when the same formality rules applied for Commonwealth elections. The small number of exhausted ballots is indicated in the result for each electorate. Discrepancies in Two Party Preferred Count In Blackwood-Stirling, Central Wheatbelt, Eyre, Kalgoorlie, Moore and Wagin, the WA Electoral Commission chose to conduct a two-party preferred count between Labor and Liberal candidates. The Commission could have chosen to conduct the count between Labor and National candidates.

Past elections have shown that a higher non-Labor two-party preferred count is recorded in contests between National and Labor candidates than between Liberal and Labor candidates. For this reason, the tables of two-party preferred counts provided in this publication may slightly underestimate the state wide two-party preferred total for the Liberal/National parties. This discrepancy is more evident in the regional totals for Agricultural Region (see regional totals on page 28), and also shows up in the table of swings based on the party status of seats. Most estimated margins based on 2005 results in Agricultural Region, and in National held seats, were based on National-Labor contests. The 2008 contests are all Liberal-Labor counts. This difference in the method used to calculate two-party preferred may be the cause and swing to Labor in National held seats and in Agricultural Region. The same comment may apply to the electorate of Churchlands, where a notional Labor-Independent count has been used as the 2005 two-party preferred estimate rather than the previously estimated Labor-Liberal margin. Summary of Redistribution As noted above, a summary of the redistribution is provided beginning on page 50. This includes old and new margins for all seats, along with notes on abolished and newly created seats. Note is also made of members contesting different seats, or contesting seats now notionally held by a different party. The redistribution also produced minor changes to the boundaries of the Legislative Council regions. These changes have been reflected in the calculation of swing in each region. However, no estimate has been made of the number of members that would have been elected to the expanded Legislative Council based on 2005 results. By-elections and Resignations Details of the Victoria Park, Peel and Murdoch by-elections can be found on page 52. Details of Legislative Council casual vacancies can be found on the same page. Note that all calculations of swing are based on comparisons of percentage votes with those recorded at the 2005 state election. Note that the old electoral boundaries were used for the by-elections. At the 2005 election, the district of Nedlands was won by Sue Walker for the Liberal Party. She left the Liberal Party in early 2008 and contested the 2008 election as an Independent. Liberal MP for Leschenault Dan Sullivan had also resigned from the Liberal Party since the 2005 election and finished his term as an Independent. At the 2008 election he unsuccessfully contested South West Region as a Family First candidate. Liberal MLC Anthony Fels resigned from the Liberal Party shortly before the 2008 election and was defeated contesting Agricultural Region as a Family First candidate. The Warren-Blackwood seat of Liberal MLA Paul Omodei was abolished in the redistribution and he chose to retire after disputed pre-selection ballots failed to deliver him a satisfactory position on the Liberal Party’s South West Region ticket. Three Labor MLAs and one MLC parted company with the Labor Party between 2005 and 2008. The seat of Yokine held by MLA Bob Kucera was abolished in the redistribution and disputes over pre-selection saw him resign from the Labor Party and finish his term as an Independent. Ballajura MLA John D’Orazio was defeated contesting the new seat of Morley as an Independent. Murchison-Eyre MLA John Bowler contested and won Kalgoorlie as an Independent. Mining and Pastoral MLC Shelley Archer also parted company with the Labor Party and did not contest the 2008 election.

A Comment on the Advantage of Incumbency The 2008 election was conducted after a major redistribution that abolished six electorates outside of Perth and created eight entirely new electorates in the Perth metropolitan area. This created an unusual feature where many seats notionally held by the Labor government were not defended by sitting Labor MPs. Of Labor’s 13 most marginal seats going into the election, only five (Kingsley, Collie-Preston, Riverton, Joondalup, Southern River) were defended by a sitting Labor MP, while two sitting Labor MPs contested notional Liberal seats (Albany, Geraldton). Two of Labor’s notionally marginal seats (Bunbury, Darling Range) were contested by sitting Liberal MPs, while Collie-Preston was contested by both a sitting Labor and a sitting Liberal MP. This created the unusual situation where the Labor Party on paper lost 11 seats, but only four of those seats had sitting Labor MPs. A fifth Labor MP was defeated in notionally Liberal-held Geraldton, while a sitting Labor MP was re-elected in the notionally Liberal-held seat of Albany. Two of the biggest swings against Labor occurred in the neighbouring inner-northern electorates of Mount Lawley and Ballajura. Both were lost by Labor, both were without sitting Labor MPs, and both had seen disputes over the non-endorsement of former Labor MPs. While the Labor Party had the advantage of being an incumbent government, the nature of the redistribution meant that the advantage an incumbent government would normally have had in key marginal electorates was greatly weakened. In the re-drawing of Perth electoral boundaries, MPs of both parties understandably gravitated to electorates encompassing the safer territory of their former electorate, leaving new candidates to contest the more marginal seats. Given the extremely close nature of the final election outcome, it is likely that changes to electoral boundaries and problems in pre-selecting candidates had a role to play in the eventual defeat of the government.

Geraldton also became a notional Liberal seat so the defeat of the sitting Labor MP is not shown as a Liberal gain. There were also contests between sitting MPs in the seats of Collie-Preston and Moore. Details of defeated, retiring and newly elected members can be found on page 48. In addition, three MPs contested seats after leaving the party for which they were elected at the 2005 election. Former Liberal MP Sue Walker was defeated contesting her seat of Nedlands as an Independent. Former Labor MP John D’Orazio was defeated contesting the new seat of Morley as an Independent. Former Labor MP John Bowler was elected contesting Kalgoorlie as an Independent.

Safe seats are defined as margins of 6-12%, and Very Safe seats are those with margins above 12%. The three electorates notionally held by the National Party, Central Wheatbelt, Moore and Wagin, all finished as contests between the National and Liberal Parties. In conducting 2-party preferred counts, the WA Electoral Commission re-counted the ballots between Liberal and Labor candidates. Had the count been conducted between National and Labor candidates, it is likely the Liberal/National 2-party preferred vote would have been higher. Estimates based on 2005 results used two-party preferred counts based on National/Labor contests. The swing to Labor in National-held seats may be entirely caused by the different method used in calculating 2-party preferred counts at the two elections.

Summaries of Preference Distributions The tables on the following pages provide a summary of the final preference distributions for the Greens, The Nationals, Labor and Liberal candidates where distributed, and for a small number of significant Independent candidates. The tables have been derived from the final candidate exclusions in the formal distribution of preferences published by the Western Australian Electoral Commission. The final exclusion is the point when only three candidates remain in the count. Except for the two electorates with only three candidates, the preference tables will include preferences already distributed from fourth and lower finishing minor party and independent candidates. The percentage vote for other candidates as well as the party composition of these candidates is shown in the final column. The tiny number of exhausted preferences has been ignored. The average values have been derived from averaging the preference flows in each electorate, not from totalling the preference flows. Had total preference flows been calculated, they would have given much greater weight to seats where the distributed party had its highest primary vote. Distribution of National Preferences
