Hello everyone,

Pursuant to a Discord announcement a week or two ago, the Electoral Commission has completed a redistribution of the states of Queensland and New South Wales, reducing them to 2 and 3 seats respectively. This means the federal parliament now has 13 seats in the House of Representatives. Accordingly, the Senate has been reduced to 6 seats. With this redistribution, we have also decided to rename the seats of Pearce and Denison to become Swan and Clark, as a better representation of each state.

The data for each state and territory is as follows

New South Wales

A map of the proposed electorates can be found here.

Based on the real-life electorates, each electorate consists of;

Cowper: Calare, Cowper, Dobell, Farrer, Hunter, Lyne, Macquarie, New England, Newcastle, Page, Parkes, Paterson, Richmond, Robertson, Riverina, Shortland

Cunningham: Banks, Chifley, Cunningham, Eden-Monaro, Fowler, Gilmore, Greenway, Hughes, Hume, Lindsay, Macarthur, McMahon, Parramatta, Werriwa, Whitlam

Sydney: Barton, Bennelong, Berowra, Blaxland, Bradfield, Cook, Grayndler, Kingsford Smith, Mackellar, Mitchell, North Sydney, Reid, Sydney, Warringah, Watson, Wentworth

Victoria

As Victoria has not undergone a redistribution, I do not have a map to provide, however I can list the following real-life electorates as part of each electorate here.

Hotham: Aston, Bruce, Chisholm, Deakin, Dunkley, Flinders, Goldstein, Higgins, Holt, Hotham, Isaacs, Kooyong, Menzies

Melbourne: Calwell, Cooper, Fraser, Gellibrand, Gorton, Hawke, Jagajaga, Lalor, Macnamara, Maribyrnong, Melbourne. Scullin, Wills

Nicholls: Ballarat, Bendigo, Casey, Corangamite, Corio, Gippsland, Indi, La Trobe, Mallee, McEwen, Monash, Nicholls, Wannon

Queensland

As the AEC are unable to provide file types for maps that are supported by Google My Maps, I am unable to provide a map similar to that of the New South Wales Map. However, I will refer you to a results map from the real-life AEC. The third page is the entirety of the Brisbane Electorate, plus Dickson, Forde, Fadden, Moncrieff and McPherson. All other electorates are part of Capricornia.

These electorates are formed from a combination of real-life electorates, shown below as follows;

Brisbane: Dickson, Petrie, Lilley, Ryan, Brisbane, Bonner, Griffith, Bowman, Moreton, Oxley, Rankin, Forde, Fadden, Moncrieff, McPherson

Capricornia: Blair, Capricornia, Dawson, Fairfax, Fisher, Flynn, Groom, Herbet, Hinkler, Kennedy, Leichhardt, Longman, Maranoa, Wright, Wide Bay

Western Australia

As Western Australia is only entitled to one electorate, it will cover the full state.

South Australia

As South Australia is only entitled to one electorate, it will cover the full state.

Tasmania

As Tasmania is only entitled to one electorate, it will cover the full state.

Northern Territory

As the Northern Territory is only entitled to one electorate, it will cover the full territory.

Australian Capital Territory

As the Australian Capital Territory is only entitled to one electorate, it will cover the full territory.

The enrollment numbers utilised here are from the Gazetted enrolment (31 August 2023), created by the real-life Electoral Commission.

Submissions to this will be open for a week. Anyone may provide suggestions for changes for Victoria, New South Wales or Queensland, keeping in line with the electorate entitlement they have. If you have suggestions for names for the divisions, please share them. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask and I will answer or I will point you in the direction of someone who can. If there are no submissions that result in a change to the proposed boundaries, these will be the final boundaries, to take effect in the next General Election.

Thanks Everyone,

Anacornda

Electoral Commissioner
