The Transformation of Australian Electoral Analysis: The Two‐Party Preferred Vote — Origins, Impacts, and Critics
In: The Australian journal of politics and history: AJPH, Band 62, Heft 1, S. 59-86
ISSN: 1467-8497
Measuring party support in Australia by constructing a "two‐party preferred" vote has had a profound effect, not only on the way political scientists, journalists, and politicians understand electoral "swing" and predict electoral outcomes, but also on their understanding of the party system, their thinking about electoral fairness, and their views about which party or parties can legitimately claim government. This article traces the origins — the maternity as well as the paternity – of the "two‐party preferred". It documents its spread from federal to state elections, even as voting systems in some states have switched from exhaustive preferential to optional preferential. It discusses its wide‐ranging impact, and its implications for notions of electoral fairness and the legitimacy of election outcomes. It evaluates various criticisms of the concept — technical, pragmatic, and conceptual. And it notes the implications for marginal seat campaigning of the commonly observed "uniform swing"— implications completely at odds with the idea that marginal seats matter.

The Aboriginal Franchise and Its Consequences
In: The Australian journal of politics and history: AJPH, Band 52, Heft 4, S. 517-561
ISSN: 1467-8497
This article traces the expansion (and contraction) of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander franchise for Commonwealth, state and territory elections, and to a lesser extent local government elections; it outlines the arguments made for (and against) Aboriginal enfranchisement; and it examines alternative accounts of what drove the expansion (and contraction) of the vote. It pulls together data on Aboriginal enrolment, political awareness and party support, particularly in the Northern Territory. And it examines divergent views about the consequences of Aborigines having the vote: claims that the franchise is an empty formality; claims that it has allowed Aborigines to be manipulated; and claims that it has generated benefits — symbolic, expressive and instrumental.
