INTRODUCTION This paper has been prepared as a final analysis of the 2003 New South Wales election. It updates the preliminary analysis published by the Parliamentary Library Research Service as background paper 4/2003. The new analysis provided includes details of the Londonderry supplementary election conducted on 31 May, final two-party preferred counts in every electorate, as well as an analysis of the distribution of preferences in the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. For each Legislative Assembly electorate, full details of primary and two-candidate preferred votes are provided. The format and calculations used in the electorate results are as follows. First Count: The votes shown for each candidate are the total primary votes received. 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 previous election from the percentage received at the current election. Where the parties contesting the district differ from the previous 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. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution of preferences in an electorate. All votes that did not indicate a preference to the two remaining candidates are included in the total listed as Exhausted. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote by the votes remaining in the count, that is the formal vote minus the exhausted vote. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the final candidates from the previous election. Where the party composition of the final two candidates differs from the previous election (e.g. Tamworth), ghost candidates appear and more than two swing figures are shown. Where appropriate, two-party preferred totals are also provided. Two-Candidate versus Two-Party Preferred results To win an electorate, a candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote after the distribution of preferences. The distribution of preferences is performed by successively excluding candidates with the lowest primary vote and distributing that candidate’s votes as preferences to other candidates remaining in the count. At the end of the count, the vote for the two final candidates is referred to as the 'two-candidate preferred vote'. In most electorates, this will be the same as the 'two-party preferred vote’, representing the final distribution of preferences between candidates representing the Labor Party, and the Liberal and National Party Coalition. However, there were 14 electorates at the 2003 New South Wales election that did not finish with two-party preferred counts. Five finished as National/Independent contests (Coffs Harbour, Dubbo, Northern Tablelands, Port Macquarie, Tamworth), three as Liberal/Independent contests (Albury, Manly, Willoughby), three as Labor/Green contests (Keira, Marrickville, Port Jackson) and three others as Labor/Independent finishes (Bligh, Londonderry, Wollongong). For information purposes, the State Electoral Office has conducted a two-party preferred distribution of preferences between Labor and the Coalition in these seats. In the case of Londonderry, where no Liberal candidate nominated, the final count between Labor and Independent candidates has been used as the two-party preferred count. In some seats, in particular Northern Tablelands and Port Macquarie, the extremely high rate of exhausted preferences makes the two-party preferred counts relatively meaningless. On page 33 I have attempted to provide a measure of statewide two-candidate preferred count, as distinct from the traditional two-party preferred count.

By-Elections and Sitting MP Indicators By-elections have been ignored in preparing the results for each electorate, and all swings are shown compared to the results of the 1999 election. Details of the four by-elections conducted between 1999 and 2003 can be found on page 40. An asterisk "*" is used to indicate any candidate who was a sitting Legislative Assembly MP. In Port Macquarie, Independent MP Rob Oakeshott is shown as the sitting MP despite originally being elected for the National Party. In Tamworth, the National Party’s John Cull won the seat at a by-election on 8 December 2001 and is shown as the sitting MP. Note that in both seats, swings are measured against votes for parties and candidates as they contested the 1999 election. In Port Macquarie, this means Mr Oakeshott’s 1999 vote is shown as the vote for the National Party, while he is shown as having no historical vote. In Tamworth, results of the by-election have been ignored. Australian Labor Party and Country Labor At the 2003 election, 22 Labor Party candidates nominated as Country Labor. Country Labor candidates have been highlighted in most tables, and the state-wide totals for Labor have been broken down to show the change in vote based upon whether an ALP or Country Labor candidate contested a seat in 2003. Legislative Council On page 53 I have provided some preliminary analysis on the distribution of preferences in the Legislative Council. This shows that the new electoral system created a huge increase in votes that exhausted their preferences during the conduct of the count. More details on the Legislative Council will be provided in a separate publication I will prepare for the Library later this year. Disclaimer All results are based on details made available by the NSW State Electoral Office. However, responsibility for all calculations and omissions is taken by the author. Note that due to rounding errors, some tables do not add to exactly 100%.

After nominating for the state election, the Liberal Party, Australian Democrats and Save Our Suburbs did not contest the Londonderry election, though two new Independents nominated. If Londonderry is excluded from the 1999 and 2003 state-wide totals, then the percentage swings for the major parties would be Labor (+0.65), Liberal (+0.03) and National (+0.75).

SUMMARY OF PREFERENCE DISTRIBUTIONS – LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL The following table summarizes the distribution of preferences in the Legislative Council. Votes have been accumulated by party. The first column shows the change in party totals between Count 1 and Count 270. The final three columns show the distribution of preferences from final party candidates between Count 270 and Count 280.

This process elected 9 Labor members, 7 from the Liberal/National Party group and one Green, as shown below. Order Elected Candidate Party 1 Michael Egan Labor Party 2 Michael Gallacher Liberal Party 3 Ian Cohen Green 4 Carmel Tebbutt Labor Party 5 Duncan Gay National Party 6 Michael Costa Labor Party 7 Greg Pearce Liberal Party 8 Ian West Labor Party 9 David Clarke Liberal Party 10 Tony Kelly Labor Party 11 Rick Colless National Party 12 Peter Primrose Labor Party 13 Catherine Cusack Liberal Party 14 Tony Burke Labor Party 15 Robyn Parker Liberal Party 16 Christine Robertson Labor Party 17 Kayee Griffin Labor Party Counts 19-270 These counts excluded 252 candidates, including all ungrouped candidates in the final column of the ballot paper, and all but the final remaining candidate from each group. After Count 270, only 15 candidates remained in the count, representing one candidate from each group on the ballot paper.

Counts 271-280 These counts excluded the last candidate from party groups in the order shown in the table on the previous page. As can be seen, the consequence of the new group ticket voting system was that the number of preferences flowing between groups fell dramatically. Between Counts 271 and 280, 84.76% of all votes exhausted. The proportion of exhausted preferences by party at each count ranged from 62.42% for the Socialist Alliance to 85.05% for the Liberal/National Party. 24.7% of Socialist Alliance votes flowed to the Greens as preferences, 10.8% of Unity votes flowed to Labor, and 14.2% of Australian Democrat preferences flowed to the Greens. No other preference flows exceeded 10%. This is a dramatic reversal of previous elections, where the previous method of implying preferences from group ticket votes resulted in preference flows of 80-90%. As predicted, the new voting system clearly favoured parties with the highest remaining vote after the initial election of candidates with full quotas. The order of the parties at Count 270, shown in the table on the previous page, is the same as when ordered by surplus quota at Count 1. Between Count 271 and Count 280, the only change to order that occurred was that the Liberal/National candidate Gerald Anderson passed the total for One Nation’s Brian Burston. Count 281 Pauline Hanson was excluded at Count 281, leaving just four candidates in the count. With four vacancies remaining to be filled, no preference distribution was required, the remaining candidates simply declared elected. Order Elected Candidate Party 18 Sylvia Hale Greens 19 Gordon Moyes Christian Democrats 20 Tony Catanzariti Labor Party 21 John Tingle Shooters Party Unlike the 1995 and 1999 elections, preferences played almost no part in the determining the result of the election. Instead of 80-90% of preferences flowing between parties, 80-90% of votes exhausted. The election of the final vacancies was determined entirely by the number of primary votes received by each party, not by the distribution of preferences.
