The Tally Room

The redistribution of Queensland's state electoral boundaries concluded last Friday, and I've now finished my map of the electorates for download. You can download the map to use in Google Earth here. I've also updated my calculations of the margins in each seat, which are at...

Voters in 46 NSW local councils will be voting on September 9 to elect new councils. The rest of the state voted last September, but elections were postponed in all of those councils which had either been amalgamated or had an amalgamation pending. Amalgamations have been...
