THE Australian Electoral Commission says Canberra has failed to grow sufficiently for a third seat, but those on the Canberra/Fraser border should prepare to find themselves on the other side of the line.
A redistribution of federal electoral boundaries in the ACT is also required as more than seven years have elapsed since the last redistribution. The redistribution, due in December 2013, was deferred at the time by the Australian Electoral Commission as the population projections suggested the ACT might possibly gain a third seat at the 2014 determination. However, following today’s determination the entitlement for the ACT remains unchanged at two members.
It’s hard to imagine the result of 2 Labor returned is likely to be disturbed.
