11:22 – Unfortunately I’ve just realised that the AEC has not yet published the data and maps. While draft proposals are published immediately, maps and data are not published for the final announcement until it is determined and tabled in parliament. I think I will be able to calculate the changes, but it will take a bit longer.
11:08 – The Australian Electoral Commission in the last half hour has announced the final redistribution for the ACT’s three federal electorates. In the next hour I plan to produce estimates of vote shares for the new electorates, but to quickly summarise:
- Despite original plans to make changes to the Canberra-Fenner boundary in both directions, the Fenner border is now left unchanged.
- The redistribution committee had originally proposed to move Norfolk Island and part of the suburb of Duffy from Bean to Canberra, but that has not been adopted, so those areas will remain in Bean.
- Symonston, Hume and the remainder of the Jerrabombera district will be in Canberra.
