Party Abbreviations ALP FFP GRN IND LIB OTH Labor Party Family First The Greens Independents Liberal Party Others Comments and Feedback This publication has been prepared based on 2014 election results combined with the reports, enrolment data, maps and electronic boundary files made available by the South Australian Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission (EDBC). Calculations of new district margins has been made by re-allocating booths to new districts. In some cases, polling places have been split to match enrolment data. Note that this publication does not use the same methodology for calculating new margins as the EDBC. Details on the calculations used in this publication can be found in the Appendix on page 72. A summary of the old electorate margins, this publication s estimated new margins, and the estimates by the EDBC can be found on page 5. Comments and suggestions on the transfer of polling places are welcome. Messages can be sent to elections@your.abc.net.au.

3 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY The South Australian Constitution Act requires that a review of the state s electoral boundaries be undertaken at the mid-point of each parliamentary term. Under Section 77 of the Constitution, the new boundaries must be drawn to ensure that enrolments for all districts are within 10% of the state average or quota. Meeting the quota requirement of Section 77 is the primary objective of the redistribution, but Section 83 of the Constitution sets out further requirements for the new boundaries and criteria to be applied. 83 Electoral fairness and other criteria (1) In making an electoral redistribution the Commission must ensure, as far as practicable, that the electoral redistribution is fair to prospective candidates and groups of candidates so that, if candidates of a particular group attract more than 50 per cent of the popular vote (determined by aggregating votes cast throughout the State and allocating preferences to the necessary extent), they will be elected in sufficient numbers to enable a government to be formed. (2) In making an electoral redistribution, the Commission must have regard, as far as practicable, to (a) the desirability of making the electoral redistribution so as to reflect communities of interest of an economic, social, regional or other kind; (b) the population of each proposed electoral district; (c) the topography of areas within which new electoral boundaries will be drawn; (d) the feasibility of communication between electors affected by the redistribution and their parliamentary representative in the House of Assembly; (e) the nature of substantial demographic changes that the Commission considers likely to take place in proposed electoral districts between the conclusion of its present proceedings and the date of the expiry of the present term of the House of Assembly, and may have regard to any other matters it thinks relevant. (3) For the purposes of this section a reference to a group of candidates includes not only candidates endorsed by the same political party but also candidates whose political stance is such that there is reason to believe that they would, if elected in sufficient numbers, be prepared to act in concert to form or support a government. The criteria in section (2) include similar grounds to those in the Commonwealth Electoral Act and in the relevant laws of other states and territories. Paragraph (1) of Section 83 is unique to South Australia and is usually referred to as the fairness criterion. Paragraphs (1) and (3) have been interpreted to mean that the EDBC must try to draw boundaries so that the major party that wins the majority of the state s two-party preferred vote should also win a majority of seats in the House of Assembly. The fairness criterion was added after the 1989 election when the Bannon Labor government was re-elected despite polling only 48.1% of the state-wide two-party vote. The Labor Party won 22 seats and formed government with the support of two Labor-aligned independents. The new provision was first applied in drawing boundaries ahead of the 1993 election. At both the 1993 and 1997 elections, the Liberal Party won a majority of the two-party preferred vote and formed government. The Labor Party has formed government after the last four elections since At only one of those elections, in 2006, did the Labor Party record a majority of the state-wide two-party vote.

4 In 2002 the Labor Party recorded 49.1% of the two-party preferred vote and finished one seat short of a majority, winning 23 of the 47 seats in the House of Assembly. The Liberal Party won 20 seats, the balance of power with three Independents with past ties to the Liberal Party, and one National MHA. The Labor Party formed government by obtaining the parliamentary support of Peter Lewis, a conservative independent and former Liberal MHA who held a seat that otherwise would have been won by the Liberal Party. In 2010 the Labor Party was re-elected to government with 26 members from a minority 48.4% of the two-party preferred vote. The Liberal Party won 18 seats and there were three Independents. The Liberal Party s failure to win resulted from the swing in marginal seats being significantly smaller than the state-wide swing. The EDBC had drawn new boundaries based on 2006 election results such that a uniform swing of 6.9% should have delivered the Liberal Party majority government. The state-wide swing was 8.4% but not uniform, with only two of the seven seats in the EDBC s target range being won by the Liberal Party. Labor s two-most marginal seats in fact swung to the Liberal Party. The Labor Party s campaign in the marginal seats was more effective than the Liberal Party s. In its 2012 redistribution report, the EDBC ruled that the 2010 result was due to campaign factors. The EDBC decided that the boundaries drawn in 2008 had met the fairness criteria based on past voting patterns, and the EDBC couldn t have predicted the changed voting patterns that produced 2010 result. The EDBC chose to make only minor boundary changes ahead of the 2014 election. In 2014 there was a further state-wide swing against the Labor Party. The Liberal Party recorded 53.0% of the two-party preferred vote and won 22 seats against 23 for Labor. Independents won the other two seats, both of which recorded Liberal majorities based on an alternate two-party preferred count. As in 2002, the Labor Party formed government after gaining the support of the crossbench members holding underlying Liberal seats. Beyond the Independent seats, there was a question whether application of the fairness criteria should have produced more than a bare majority of 24 underlying Liberal seats for a 53.0% Liberal state-wide two-party preferred vote. After two elections that produced the wrong winner, the EDBC embarked on a more drastic re-drawing of boundaries. In its 2016 deliberations, the EDBC abandoned some of the boundary arrangements that had evolved over two decades, and instead gave greater weight to correcting the imbalance produced by the 2014 election result. In its report the EDBC maintained a link between several old and new districts despite radical changes to boundaries. This publication has chosen to treat some of the more radical changes as being cases of districts being abolished and created. This publication treats four former districts as being abolished, four new districts as being created, with three other districts treated as being re-named. In summary the abolished, created and re-named districts are The elongated north-south aligned districts of Bright and Mitchell in southern Adelaide have been abolished, replaced by the more rectangular Black and Gibson. The anti-clockwise rotation of districts through southern Adelaide results in Fisher being abolished and a new seat called Hurtle Vale being created to the south-west. North of Elizabeth the district of Napier has been abolished and a new seat called King created to the east of Elizabeth. The re-named districts are Ashford becoming Badcoe, Goyder now known as Narungga and Little Para reverting to its former name Elizabeth. The following points summarise the political consequences of the new boundaries. The previously Labor held districts of Colton, Elder, Mawson and Newland become notional Liberal seats on the new boundaries. The district of Fisher was won by Independent Bob Such in The district recorded a Liberal majority by the alternate two-party preferred count. Fisher has been abolished and 2 Antony Green ABC Election Unit November 2017
5 the new seat of Hurtle Vale has been created to the south-west as a notional Labor seat. Note that calculations in this publication do not take account of Labor s victory in Fisher at the December 2014 by-election following the death of Bob Such. The new seat of King is a very marginal Labor seat where the abolished district of Napier had been a safe Labor seat. The district of Light loses its remaining rural component and becomes a largely urban district based on Gawler and Munno Para. The district of Mawson moves out of the metropolitan area, retaining only McLaren Vale, McLaren Flat and Willunga from its former boundaries. The district gains Aldinga Beach and Port Willunga from Kaurna, and Kangaroo Island and the western Fleurieu Peninsula from Finniss. As noted the district s Labor majority is overturned and the new Mawson is a notionally Liberal-held seat. Changes have little impact on the Liberal margin for Finniss, but the new boundaries make the district into a largely urban seat covering the shore of Encounter Bay. Lee is significantly weakend for Labor, losing Largs and Semaphore to Port Adelaide while gaining Henley Beach from Colton. Morphett remains a safe Liberal seat but its margin is weakened as a result of the changes that make neighbouring Colton a notional Liberal seat. Port Adelaide and Elizabeth become safer for Labor in the same changes that make Lee and the new seat of King marginal for Labor. In addition to the boundary changes, three members will re-contest as Independents against their former party Frances Bedford (Florey, ex-labor), Duncan McFetridge (Morphett, ex- Liberal) and Troy Bell (Mount Gambier, ex-liberal). This publication does not account for the possible impact of Nick Xenophon s SA Best party on the 2018 election. The table below summarise the changes in party standings ahead of the 2018 election Election Notional Party Status of New Electorates S e a t s H e l d b y P a r t y Labor Liberal Independent Total Old Boundaries 2014 result Old boundaries (Two-party preferred) New Boundaries (Two-party preferred) New Boundaries with Independents New District Margins Comparing this Publication s Estimates to the EDBC Report. As set out in the Appendix, this publication calculates new margins by transferring polling place results from old to new districts, either in full or by estimating a split between new districts. Declaration votes (absent, postal, pre-poll votes) for old districts are apportioned to new districts based on enrolment transfers, but the votes transferred are weighted based on party vote in the polling places contained in the transferred area. The EDBC transfers polling place results using accurate information drawn from roll mark-off data. Ballot paper secrecy means the EDBC cannot know the vote an elector casts at a polling place. However, roll mark-off data allows the EDBC to know the proportion of electors voting at a polling place that came from specific census collector district (CCD). All addresses on the electoral roll are located within the geographic area of a CCD. The EDBC also uses roll mark-off data to allocate declaration votes back to CCDs. However, the EDBC s method allocates declaration votes to CCDs so that every CCD in a district is recorded with the same ratio of party votes. The CCDs were the geographic building blocks used by the EDBC to draw new boundaries. To calculate the estimated margins for each new district, the EDBC accumulates the party votes from each CCD into totals for each new district. The EDBC also makes some adjustments by projecting forward based on population and demographic trends in each new district. Antony Green ABC Election Unit November
6 The major differences between the estimated district margins in this publication and those produced by the EDBC are due differences in dealing with the declaration vote. The EDBC s method spreads the ratio of declaration party votes evenly across a district. This publication weights the proportion of declaration party vote to match the varying proportions of polling place party vote across a district. The differences produced by the two methods are small in most districts, but more significant where former districts had clear geographic patterns to the party vote. As an example, the former electorate of Lee extended north of Bower Road into Semaphore and Largs Bay. This area recorded much higher levels of Labor vote than areas south of Bower Road. Bower Road is the new boundary between Lee and Port Adelaide, which means a strong Labor voting area previously in Lee has been transferred to Port Adelaide. The EDBC has estimated the new Labor margin for Lee as 2.6% where this publication using weighted declaration vote data estimates a weaker margin of 1.5%. The same transfer helps explain why the EDBC estimate for Port Adelaide s new Labor margin is 12.5% and this publication s estimate is 14.0%. Another example is the electorate of Adelaide. It loses an area around the Prospect North booth to Enfield, while gaining parts of Collinswood covered by the Walkerville North joint booth from Enfield. The Liberal two-party preferred percentage for Adelaide in 2014 was 52.4%. The Prospect North booth Liberal result was 43.6% compared to the much stronger Adelaide declaration vote of 54.5%. The Liberal result in the Walkerville North booth transferred into Adelaide was 57.9% compared to a much weaker 44.4% for the Enfield declaration vote. This publication s estimate for Adelaide has the Liberal margin rising from 2.4% to 3.0%. The EDBC estimate sees the Liberal margin decline to 2.0%. This publication weighted the declaration vote to reflect the booth results and produced an increase in the Liberal margin. The EDBC s method of evenly divided the declaration vote for Adelaide and Enfield and produced an estimate where the Liberal margin declined. The table on the next page shows the margins for existing districts along with this publication s and the EDBC s estimated new margins. Districts with a significant difference between the two estimates are highlighted. These differences have little impact on the overall impact of the redistribution. The EDBC report estimates that a uniform swing of 3.2% is needed for Labor to gain the four seats it needs for majority government. This publication estimates the swing as 3.1%. Neither of these estimated swings take any account of Independents or third parties winning seats.

9 DETAILED LISTINGS FOR ALL DISTRICTS Format for Listings A summary table of new party totals is provided at the top of each district listing. The summary table includes a line for each party that recorded votes within the district at the last election. There is a column of first preference votes and percentages, of two-candidate preferred votes and percentages, and a two-party preferred vote and percentage. In most districts, the two-candidate and two-party preferred totals are the same. In districts that include parts of the former districts of Fisher, Frome, Heysen and Mount Gambier, different twocandidate and two-party preferred results are shown. The final lines in each summary table list the formal, informal and total votes for each new district. A percentage indicating the 2014 votes transferred as a percentage of 2016 redistribution enrolment is also shown. After the summary table, a series of mini-tables and totals are provided that correspond to transfers of enrolment between old and new districts. Each listing includes a separate total for each transfer. Transfers from old to new district are listed first, followed by transfers out of the existing district and into a new district. An example of an enrolment transfer table is shown below. Badcoe includes transfers from the following old districts From: Ashford (14997 voters, last election votes, 92.4% of enrolment) Black Forest, Black Forest East, Clarence Gardens, Clarence Park (75%), Edwardstown, Goodwood (50%), Keswick, Kurralta Park, Melrose Park, Plympton (50%), Plympton Park (50%), South Plympton (50%), South Plympton North, Declaration Vote (60%) OTH Votes % This example shows a transfer From the old district of Ashford to the new district of Badcoe. The full listing for Badcoe also includes transfer from the old district of Elder and West Torrens, and transfers out to the new districts of Elder, Morphett and Unley. Each entry includes a line showing the total of enrolled voters transferred, as well as the calculated number of votes and the total votes as a percentage of enrolled voters transferred. Below this is a list of all booths that form part of the transfer. Booths that have been split are shown with a percentage indicating the proportion of the booth transferred. A percentage of declaration votes transferred is also shown. Totals of two-party preferred and first preference votes are shown for each transfer. Where a transfer includes an area that finished as a twocandidate preferred contest in 2006, a separate 2-candidate preferred total is also provided. Details of transfers from the four electorates defined as being abolished can be found on page 63. A detailed explanation of the methodology and calculations used in this publication can be found in the Appendix on page 72. Antony Green ABC Election Unit November
