NSW Legislative Council Election 2015

Introduction This paper summarises the results of the 2015 election for 21 members to serve in the New South Wales Legislative Council. The 2015 election was the fourth conducted since the abolition of group voting tickets after the 1999 ‘tablecloth’ ballot paper election. The new system introduced in 2003 retained the format of the ballot paper in use since 1988. A thick line divides the ballot paper horizontally (see below). Voters can choose to vote ‘below the line’ for candidates or ‘above the line’ for parties. Above the line a candidate must mark a first preference, all further preferences being optional. Below the line a voter must indicate at least 15 preferences, though some ballot papers with fewer preferences may be remain in the count due to savings provisions.

From 1988 to 1999, only a single '1' above the line was counted. Such a vote adopted the lodged 'group voting ticket' of the selected party, the ticket being a list of preferences for the candidates of the selected party followed by preferences to other parties on the ballot paper. The abolition of group voting tickets ended party control over between-party preferences. Since 2003, the only betweenparty preferences in the count have been those completed by voters themselves. This publication provides detailed analysis of the 2015 Legislative Council election, with breakdown of above and below the line voting, of the distribution of preferences, as well as detailed Legislative Council party results by lower house electorates. The publication is divided into five sections. Section 1

contains the overall state-wide count, details of the distribution of preferences and details of members elected.

Section 2

lists the Legislative Council results by party for each electoral district, also providing a summary of party vote by region.

Section 3

provides more detail on the vote for each party by electoral district, with ordered tables of electorate results by party.

Section 4

consists of summary tables comparing the vote for selected parties by electorate between the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council.

Section 5

tables of past results 1978-2015

While all details in this publication are based on results published by the NSW Electoral Office, all calculations and analysis are the responsibility of the author. Antony Green May 2018

NSW Legislative Council Election 2015

Statistical Highlights •

A record 394 candidates contested the Legislative Council, up from 311 in 2011 and surpassing the previous record of 333 candidates in 2007. There were 25 columns on the ballot paper, more than at previous elections under the current system. There were only 21 group voting squares 'above the line' on the ballot paper, there being no square for the ungrouped column, nor for three groups that nominated with fewer than the 15 candidates required for the inclusion of a group voting square. Despite the increase in candidates, the ballot paper was smaller than the 1999 'tablecloth' ballot paper with 264 candidates and 81 columns.

Note: The total number of groups includes an ‘Ungrouped’ column at each election. 1 – Elections conducted before the introduction of a divided ballot paper. 2 – Elections with a divided ballot paper and preferenced group voting tickets. 3 – Elections with a divided ballot paper after abolition of preferenced group voting tickets.



The 2015 election was for Legislative Council positions last contested in 2007. Compared to the 2007 election, the Labor Party lost two seats, the Liberal Party gained one, and the Animal Justice Party elected its first member.



98.3% of all ballot papers were counted as 'above the line' votes, with only 1.7% 'below the line'. 83.0% of ballot papers counted as single '1' above the line votes, and 15.3% as above the line votes with preferences. (See Table 1.22, page 27)



The parties with the highest proportion of above the line votes with preferences were the Greens 29.4%, Socialist Alliance 28.7%, Australian Cyclists Party 27.8%, Animal Justice Party 23.9% and Outdoor Recreation Party 23.5%. The group with the lowest proportion was the Liberal/National Coalition 10.9%. (See Table 1.22, page 27)



As at previous elections since 2003, more than 80% of ballot papers exhausted their sequence of numbers during the distribution of preferences. Seventeen vacancies were filled on the initial counts with full quotas, the final four vacancies filled by the four remaining candidates at the end of the count with less than a quota of votes. Once the exclusion of parties with group voting squares began, 83.4% of ballot papers exhausted. (See Table 1.21, page 26)



The lowest rate of exhaustion at any exclusion took place at Count 389 when the third Green candidate was excluded. Only 59.6% of ballot papers exhausted at this count, 21.3% of preferences flowing to Labor, and 11.5% to the Animal Justice Party, putting that party ahead of No Land Tax in the contest for the final vacancy. (See Table 1.19)



The Animal Justice Party polled 1.78% (0.29 quotas) and reached 2.12% (0.47 quotas) after preferences. This was the lowest first preference vote for a successful candidate since the current electoral system was introduced in 2003. It was lower than the 2.05% for the elected Shooters Party in 2003, equal to the unsuccessful Australian Democrats in 2007 (1.78%) and lower than for Pauline Hanson's unsuccessful contests in 2003 (1.92%) and 2011 (2.41%). The after preferences percentage of 2.12% was also lower than the previous lowest successful count after preferences, 2.25% for the Shooters Party in 2003, and lower than Pauline Hanson's unsuccessful after preferences count of 2.53% in 2011.

NSW Legislative Council Election 2015



Of the 394 candidates, three had zero votes, 126 had 10 or fewer votes, 202 had 20 or fewer votes, 275 had 50 or fewer, and 314 candidates had fewer than 100 votes.



The candidates with the most below-the-line first preference votes appeared on the ballot paper as the lead candidate on the highest polling party tickets, John Kaye (Greens) with 11,781, Sophie Cotsis (Labor) 9,974 and John Ajaka (Liberal) 6,921.



The Candidate with the most votes who did not lead a party ticket was Ben Franklin (National) 1,229, who was the first National but second listed candidate on the Liberal/National ticket. Steve Yang (Liberal) in the 16th and final position on the Liberal/National ticket had the second highest non-lead candidate vote with 1,045 votes.



As implemented at the 2015 election, the NSW Electoral Commission's iVote system defaulted to display the first four columns of the electronic ballot paper. Results indicate that some voters were unaware that the electronic ballot paper could be scrolled right to see other parties. This led to parties and groups in the first four columns receiving a significantly higher iVote percentage than for any other category of vote. The first columns displayed on iVote will be randomised at the 2019 election. (See Table 1.24 page 29)



Non-party Group D received 0.60% of the vote for iVotes compared with 0.11% for all other categories of votes. Group D received 6,251 votes overall, with 1,647 completed using iVote. iVotes represented 6.3% of all ballot papers, but 26.3% of total votes for Group D.



The Shooters and Fishers Party recorded 8.0% of the vote in rural seats compared to 4.9% in Hunter/Illawarra seats and 2.0% in Metropolitan seats. (See Table 2.2, page 34).



The Greens recorded their strongest vote in Inner City seats (21.1%), the North Coast (14.4%) and the North Shore (12.7%). (See Table 2.2, page 34).



Support for the Christian Democrats was strongest in Southern Sydney (4.1%) and Western Sydney (4.4%). Support for No Land Tax was also strongest in these two regions, 2.5% and 2.8% respectively. (See Table 2.2, page 34).



Of the 25 columns on the ballot paper, sixteen were for registered parties. Five columns were for non-party groups with a group voting square but no party label, three were non-party groups with no group voting square, and the final column was the ungrouped column with no group voting square. There were 112 candidates in the nine columns with no party label. Together these columns represented more than a third of the ballot paper width (36%), more than a quarter of the candidates (28%) yet attracted only one in 200 votes (0.50%).

NSW Legislative Council Election 2015

Counts 1-18 Counts 2-18 distributed the preferences of the leading candidates on the Liberal/National Coalition, Labor and Green tickets. This elected nine Coalition, six Labor and two Green MLCs in the order shown below. (* indicates sitting members) Order Elected 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

Only below-the-line votes could ‘leak’ from the party tickets during these counts. By count 18 the Liberal/National ticket had lost 741 votes (0.04% of the party’s vote), Labor 1,024 votes (0.08%) and the Greens 133 votes (0.03%).

Counts 19-374 At the end of Count 18, no candidate remained with more than a quota of votes. From this point the count proceeded by the successive exclusion of the lowest polling candidates and the distribution of their ballot papers as preferences to candidates remaining in the count. Each of Counts 19 to 21 excluded candidates with zero votes. It was count 111 before the first candidate with 10 votes was excluded, Count 170 before the first candidate with 20 votes was excluded, Count 246 before the first candidate with 50 votes was excluded, and it was Count 296 before the exclusion of the first candidate with 100 votes. All Ungrouped candidates as well as candidates from three groups without a group voting square were excluded before the final stages of the count. The final candidate from these groups were excluded as follows. Warwick Erwin (Group W) 121 votes at Count 308, Jennifer Stefanac (Group U) 152 votes at Count 317, Ramsay Nuthall (Ungrouped) 612 votes at Count 359, and Ron Pike (Group V) 1004 votes at Count 368. Pike’s exclusion was the first for a candidate with more than one thousand votes. Count 374 excluded Labor’s Helen Westwood, at which point only 21 candidates remained in the count, one from each of the 21 groups on the ballot paper with a group voting square. These candidates were the 10th Coalition candidate, 7th Labor candidate, 3rd Green candidate and the lead candidate for the other 18 groups. All ‘above the line’ votes that had not been set aside with an elected candidate were held by these 21 candidates. Candidate names, party, total votes, quotas held and changes in party total since Count 1 and Count 18 are shown in the next table.

In Table 1.4, the column headed 'Change in Group Vote' shows the change in vote tally at Count 374 for each party’s remaining candidates. The comparisons are with party totals at Count 1, the initial tally of first preferences, and at Count 18, after the election of 17 members. The ‘Votes’ column in Table 1.4 does not include the total votes set aside as quotas for elected Coalition, Labor and Greens members, but the change in vote total does. The Change columns represent the leakage of below the line votes from the total first preference votes for each group. Count 375 excluded the first candidate whose total votes included above the line votes. James Jansson (Group M) represented the unregistered Future Party. Of his 2,759 votes (0.06%), 79.6% exhausted with the highest flow to another party being 6.3% to the Greens. The Future Party registered a how-to-vote with only a first preference but suggested further preferences could be completed.

Count 379 excluded Christopher Buttel (Group D). Buttel registered a how to vote with only a single preference. Of his 6,375 votes (0.15%), 78.4% exhausted, 5.1% flowed to the Coalition in Column E, 4.2% to Animal Justice in Column C, and 2.9% to No Land Tax in Column A. Group D’s results were influenced by problems with the implementation of iVote. iVote opened on the first four columns on the ballot paper, six columns on larger screens. Some voters seemed unaware they could scroll their screen right to see other columns on the ballot paper. This appears to have boosted both the vote for Group D, and the preference flows noted in the previous paragraph. Group D polled 0.60% with iVoters but only 0.11% across all other categories of votes. iVotes represented 6.3% of overall ballot papers, but 26.3% of all votes for Group D.

Count 388 excluded Shayne Higson (Voluntary Euthanasia Party) in Column L, 43,896 votes (1.02%). The party’s registered how-to-vote recommended a second preference be given to the voter’s second preferred party but did not suggest another party. 74.0% of votes exhausted, 8.1% flowed to the Greens and 4.7% to Labor in neighbouring Column K.

Count 389 excluded Justin Field (The Greens) with 48,815 votes (1.13%). At Count 374 the Greens had 35,091 votes, but the party gained 13,724 votes as preferences at later exclusions, allowing the Green total to pass Voluntary Euthanasia. As well as preferences received, The Greens first preference vote had included the highest proportion of ballot papers marked with more than a single preference above the line (29.4%). The Green’s registered how-to-vote had a 2nd preference for the Cyclist Party (already excluded), 3rd preference Animal Justice, 4th preference Voluntary Euthanasia (already excluded), 5th preference Socialist Alliance (already excluded) and 6th preference for Labor. On exclusion, only 59.6% of ballot papers exhausted their preferences. 11.5% flowed to the Animal Justice Party in line with the Green and Cyclist Party how-to-votes, but the strongest flow or preferences was 21.3% to Labor.

The Green preference had a critical impact on the result. First it put Courtney Houssos (Labor) ahead of Robert Borsak (Shooters and Fishers), though both were already assured of victory. More importantly, where at Count 388 Peter Jones (No Land Tax) led Mark Pearson (Animal Justice Party) by 2,004 votes, after the distribution of Green preferences Pearson led by 2,883 with only one more candidate to be excluded.

NSW Legislative Council Election 2015

Count 390 now excluded the tenth and final Coalition candidate, Hollie Hughes (Liberal), in Column E with 81,825 votes (1.90%). Both the Liberal and National Parties registered how-to-vote material recommending a Legislative Council second preference for the Christian Democrats. In a small number of electorates, including Coogee and Sydney, the recommendation was for only a single ‘1’. In total 86.1% of Liberal preferences exhausted and only 5.7% of votes added the recommended second preference for the Christian Democrat’s Fred Nile. Robert Pearson (Animal Justice) extended his lead over Peter Jones (No Land Tax) by a further 294 votes.

His preferences were not distributed, the remaining four candidates with less than a quota of votes declared elected in the following order. Order Elected 18 19 20 21

Quotas 0.9381 0.9050 0.6829 0.4659

As in 2011, the filling of the final vacancies compared to the initially tally of votes was altered by the distribution of preferences. In 2011 it was Pauline Hanson who was passed on preferences by the final Green and Coalition candidates in the race for the final two vacancies. In 2015 Peter Jones (No Land Tax) was passed by Robert Pearson (Animal Justice Party). This was despite support for Jones being boosted by the advantage of drawing Column A on the ballot paper.

Summary of Counts 374-390 As explained in the description of the counts provided on the preceding pages, the last remaining candidates for 16 parties/groups were excluded between Counts 374 and 390. The consequence of the voting system introduced at the 2003 election is that the number of preferences flowing between groups has fallen dramatically compared to the preference flows that applied when group voting tickets were in use between 1988 and 1999. Table 1.21 summarises the overall flow of preferences between Counts 374 and 390. A total of 360,738 votes were distributed during these counts. 300,957 or 83.43% exhausted before reaching one of the five remaining candidates at Count 390. Of the 59,781 votes that reached one of the five remaining candidates, 21,059 or 5.84% reached Labor (35.2% of votes with preferences) and 14,638 or 4.06% reached the Animal Justice Party (24.5% of votes with preferences). At Count 1 the No Land Tax group total was 5,235 votes higher than Animal Justice’s. At Count 374 the lead of Peter Jones (No Land Tax) over Mark Pearson (Animal Justice) had shrunk to 4,379 votes. Between Count 374 and the end of the count Pearson gained 7,556 more preferences than Jones to win the final seat by 3,177 votes.

Note: Table excludes 17 quotas for nine Liberal/National, six Labor and two Green MLCs elected on the initial tally of first preferences.

The Animal Justice Party polled 1.78% (0.29 quotas) on first preferences and reached 2.12% (0.47 quotas) after preferences. This was the lowest vote for a successful candidate since the current electoral system was introduced in 2003. It was lower than the 2.05% for the elected Shooters Party in 2003, equal to the unsuccessful Australian Democrats in 2007 (1.78%) and lower than for Pauline Hanson's unsuccessful contests in 2003 (1.92%) and 2011 (2.41%). The after preferences percentage of 2.12% was also lower than the previous lowest successful count after preferences, 2.25% for the Shooters Party in 2003, and lower than Pauline Hanson's unsuccessful after preferences count of 2.53% in 2011.

This requirement is a consequence of the constitution requiring 15 preferences for a formal vote. Groups U, V and W did not nominate enough candidates to qualify for a group voting square and were not required to lodge a group second preference. As no candidate was disqualified in 2015, none of the above flows of preferences were required.

** As implemented at the 2015 election, iVote always displayed the first four columns of the electronic ballot paper. Results indicate that some voters were unaware that the electronic ballot paper could be scrolled right to see other parties. This led to parties and groups in the first four columns receiving a significantly higher percentage vote with iVote than for other categories of vote. To prevent this happening again, the first columns displayed on iVote will be randomised at future elections.
