11th or the 18th the dates being talked about.And while the Election will be foughtoverwhelmingly on Federal issues, there are stilla lot of issues that will affect us here in AldingaBay.Residents of Port Willunga, Aldinga Beach andSellicks Beach, who have been part of the Seatof Kingston for many years, ably represented byAmanda Rishworth, will now be included in theSeat of Mayo where Independent RebekhaSharkie is the Sitting Member.(You may remember the recent by-election whereGeorgina Downer of the Liberal Partyunsuccessfully challenged Rebekha for the Seatof Mayo.)

Rebekha and Georgina are running again, whileAnn Bourne has put her hand up for The Greens.The ALP has announced Saskia Geradhy ofWillunga as their preferred candidate.We have invited the sitting independent memberRebekka Sharkie, Liberal Candidate GeorginaDowner, Labour Candidate Saskia Gerhardy andGreen Candidate Anne Bourne to attend ourforum, and as soon as the Election is called andCandidates are announced we will be contactingall candidates to invite them to a Meet TheCandidates Forum to be held at the Aldinga BayCommunity Centre, at a date to be confirmed.(Most likely our regular second Wednesday ofevery even month, being April 10th.)Stay tuned to Coastal Views and the ABRAwebsite for updates and announcements!

Have you seen the signs on Main SouthRoad?

T he colourful signage just before the turnoffto Old Aldinga forms part of OnkaparingaCity’s Tourism Precinct Signage rollout for

identified precincts. The signage has beenimplemented for Christies Beach, Port Noarlungaand McLaren Vale, with Willunga still to bedetermined.Council worked with the Aldinga Bay Businessand Tourism Association to determine thethemes and imagery that are promoted on thebanners. The banners aim to provide motorists asnapshot of what they can experience in Aldingaand banner imagery includes Nature (AldingaScrub), Food and Drink, Fishing (Beach Fishing),Adventure (Aldinga Bi-plane over coast), Market(Friday’s After Five) and Coastal (Family walkingon beach).Not everyone, though, is happy with theinstallation. Stephanie Johnston of Friends ofPort Willunga said “After all our fights to reduceand lower the signage impacts at Aldi and OTR,our own council hits us with one big eyesore ofan advertisement, mostly for themselves, right onour doorstep … and consults a business groupthat has nothing to do with Old Aldinga!”

Stephanie also said she intends to start acampaign not to have the signage reinstatedwhen the road is widened and duplicated, andhas called for community support.Councillor for South Coast Ward Richard Peathas expressed reservations about theconsultation process.“I note that only one Community group wasconsulted,” he said.“For example, the Aldinga Bay Business andTourism Association do not represent the OldAldinga Traders Group.“And although it appears only Business wasconsulted, I see no valid reason why the AldingaBay Residents Association could not have alsobeen informed.”What do you think, readers? Are the signs animprovement, or a blot on the landscape?Let us know your opinion [email protected]

W ith the 2019 Federal Election about to be announced, we thought it might be helpful if weexplained the convoluted process by which our Preferential Voting System works, and how theAustralian Electoral Commission determines who the winners will be.

Full details at: https://www.aec.gov.au/Counting the votes on election nightCounting at polling placesPolling officials are required to complete three main tasks when polls close, in the following order:

• count the first preferences on the House of Representatives ballot papers• conduct a two-candidate-preferred (TCP)• count of the House of Representatives ballot papers, and count the first preferences on the

Senate ballot papers.Only ordinary votes from polling places are counted on election night. That is, the ordinary votes thatare cast at a polling place where the voter's name is marked off the electoral roll at the time of voting.House of Representatives count on election nightImmediately after the polling place doors close, polling officials open and empty the House ofRepresentatives ballot boxes. The green ballot papers are unfolded and all the number '1' votes (firstpreferences) are put into separate piles for each candidate and counted. Informal ballot papers arecounted separately (ballot papers that are not completed correctly are referred to as informal ballotpapers).The first preference results for each candidate are phoned through to the Divisional Returning Officer(DRO), along with the number of informal ballot papers. The figures are then data entered andtransmitted to the Tally Room on the AEC website and provided to media outlets through a media feedsystem. Constant updates occur over election night through the Tally Room every time new informationis entered.

Counting your vote is a complicated process


Two-candidate-preferred count for House ofRepresentatives on election nightFollowing the first preference count, pollingofficials conduct an indicative two-candidate-preferred (TCP) count – a distribution of ballotpapers to two selected candidates. This resultis then phoned through to the DRO.The two selected candidates are thoseexpected to receive the most first preferencevotes. The TCP count is conducted to give anearly indication of who is most likely to wineach seat, as this is not always clear from firstpreferences. The Tally Room also providesTCP information as soon as it is entered intothe AEC system.The AEC selects the two candidates for theTCP count based on a number of factorsincluding historical voting patterns in previouselections. The names of the two candidates arekept confidential until the close of the poll. Theballot papers for all other candidates areexamined to see which of the two selectedcandidates the voter has put ahead in theirpreferences. The ballot papers are then sortedto the candidate who has the highestpreference. This process ends up with all ballotpapers being allocated to one or other of thetwo selected candidates to give a TCP countresult.The AEC is required to undertake the indicativeTCP count under subsections 274 (2A), (2B)and (2C) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act1918 (Electoral Act). The provision waslegislated in 1992 and resulted from arecommendation by the Joint StandingCommittee on Electoral Matters following itsinquiry into the 1990 federal election that thiscount occur in polling places. The intent was toassist with a quicker understanding on electionnight of the party or parties likely to formGovernment in the federal election. Ininstances where it is evident that one or both ofthe leading candidates differ from thatselected, then the TCP count is restarted andpreferences distributed to the correct twoleading candidates in the days following theelection night count.The first preference, TCP, and full distributionof preferences counts are observable byscrutineers and the results published on theTally Room.Senate count on election nightFollowing the House of Representatives count,polling officials open and empty the Senateballot boxes. The ballot papers are sorted intofirst preferences for each group above-the-line(ATL) and below-the-line (BTL) and first

preferences for each ungrouped candidate aswell as those which are obviously informal. A firstpreference figure for each group (combined totalfor ATL and BTL), each ungrouped candidateand the total of obviously informal votes isphoned through to the DRO and then transmittedto the Tally Room on the AEC website.The Senate scrutiny and the distribution ofpreferences is done at the Central SenateScrutiny in each state or territory. The finalresults cannot be calculated until the state orterritory-wide total of all votes is known and isused to determine the quota – the proportion ofvotes required by a candidate to be elected. It isonly possible, therefore, to get an indication ofthe Senate results on election night.Declaration VotesWhere a person votes at a location that does nothave the relevant electoral roll to mark them off,they will cast a declaration vote. A person whocompletes a postal vote is considered to havecompleted a declaration vote. A declaration voteis when a person 'makes a declaration' abouttheir entitlement to vote and then places theirballot papers into a declaration envelope.Declaration votes, including postal votes, must bereturned to the relevant DRO so the person canbe marked off the electoral roll before their votecan be counted.Counting the votes after election nightFresh scrutiny/DRO Senate count of ordinaryvotesThe initial vote counting conducted on electionnight is followed by a 'fresh scrutiny' of House ofRepresentatives ballot papers and check of thepolling place count of formal and informal Senateballot papers, called a DRO Senate count. Boththese counts commence in the week followingelection day in the divisional out-posted centre.The DRO counts all ordinary votes received fromevery polling place in their division. Some Houseof Representatives ballot papers that weretreated as informal on election night may beadmitted to the count by the DRO, and similarlyballot papers previously regarded as formal maybe reclassified as informal.Corrected count figures will result in a change tothe figures displayed on the Tally Room on theAEC website.The DRO is responsible for conducting an initialcount and fresh scrutiny of votes not counted inpolling places on election night – those collectedby mobile teams and PPVCs. This maycommence after 6pm on election night at thedivisional out-posted centre and continue throughthe following week.


Declaration vote scrutinyDeclaration votes do not get counted on electionnight; instead, they are counted in the weeksfollowing election night. The counting of thesevotes takes longer than the counting of ordinaryvotes.The scrutiny of declaration votes is done in twostages:

• the preliminary scrutiny of postal votecertificates and declaration envelopescontaining pre-poll, absent or provisionalvotes to determine whether each person isentitled to a vote, and

• the further scrutiny where the ballot papersadmitted to the scrutiny are taken out oftheir envelopes and placed into ballotboxes ready to be counted.

The preliminary scrutiny of declaration votes maybegin once envelopes are received. However, noenvelopes are opened or any votes counted untilafter the polls close on election day.A declaration vote is accepted for further scrutinyif it meets certain requirements. Therequirements are:

• the declaration on the envelope has beenproperly completed and signed by thevoter,

• it has been appropriately witnessed, and• the voter is entitled to vote.

In addition, a postal vote must have beenrecorded prior to the polls closing. That is, before6pm on election day.The AEC is required to wait 13 days after electionday to receive declaration votes before it canfinalise counting. This ensures that voters inremote areas and overseas are notdisenfranchised.

Further scrutinyOnce a declaration vote is admitted to furtherscrutiny, the declaration envelope is opened facedown and the ballot papers extracted, withoutbeing unfolded, and placed in a ballot box. Theyare then treated in the same way as ordinaryballot papers.Computerised Senate scrutinyAfter the DRO Senate count the ballot papers aresent to the Central Senate Scrutiny where theAustralian Electoral Officer (AEO) for the state orterritory is responsible for the scrutiny of ballotpapers.The computerised scrutiny system is used tocalculate the quota, distribute preferences anddetermine the results.Declaration of the pollsOnce the votes are counted and a successfulcandidate(s) has been determined there is apublic declaration of the result. The declaration ofthe poll for each House of Representativeselectorate is conducted publicly by the DRO. Thedeclaration of the Senate election for each stateand territory is conducted by the respective AEO.Return of the writsAfter the Senate polls are declared, the AEO foreach state returns the writ for their electionendorsed with the names of the successfulcandidates to the State Governor. The territoryAEOs return their writs to the Governor-General.For the House of Representatives, the ElectoralCommissioner returns the writs for each stateand territory endorsed with the name of thesuccessful candidate for each electorate in thatstate or territory. These writs are returned to theGovernor-General.

A pril Fool! Thomas Nast's cartoon about AllFool's Day actually appeared in the April 2,1864 issue of Harper's Weekly.

April Fool's Day, or All Fool's Day, probablydeveloped somewhat differently in variouscountries, but its observance is documented asearly as the sixteenth century in France. Underthe Julian calendar developed by Julius Caesar,April 1 was celebrated as the first day of theyear. In 1564, Pope Gregory XIII introduced anew calendar, designating January 1 as the startof the new year. In France, those who continuedto celebrate April 1 as New Year's Day werecalled "fools" andbecame thetarget of ridiculeand pranks byadherents of thenew Gregoriancalendar. Thetradition ofperformingpractical jokeson April 1 spreadto otherEuropeancountries andtheir Americancolonies in theeighteenthcentury.American authorHerman Melvilleset andpublished hisnovel about ariverboatswindler, TheConfidence Man(1857), on AprilFool's Day.Nast's cartoon is a mosaic of several April Fool'spranks. The inset pictures on the upper-left andupper-right depict Union soldiers and sailors,respectively, tricking their comrades about wherethe Confederate enemy lurks, and obscuring theirvision. The small circles in the middle of eachside show a phony newspaper headlineannouncing that the Union has captured theConfederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Onthe center-left, "Mr. Shoddy" is upset because hewill no longer be able to supply his inferior goodsto the Union military at inflated prices. (See thearchive for the cartoon of February 7, 1863, "Oneof the Effects of the War.") On the center-right,New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley ("Mr.Fogey") is surprised (and fooled) to see that hisheadlines continually urging "On to Richmond!"have come true.

Imposture was a frequent part of April fooling inthe nineteenth century, and is represented inthe lower circles. On the left, a man wears hiswife's hoop skirt and veiled bonnet, while thewoman has donned her husband's top hat andcoat, and added a false mustache and side-whiskers. On the right, a soldier tries toconvince the night sentry that he is confrontinga talking mule. In Scotland, April Fool's iscelebrated over two days, with the second,called "Taily Day," featuring tricks behind or ona person's backside. This tradition is seen inthe center cartoons, where signs or strings withobjects are attached to April fools.

In the top-center cartoon, Nast incorporatespolitical commentary into an April Fool'sscene. The setting is an outdoor meeting ofthe Peace Democrats ("Copperheads"), a wingof the Democratic party in the North whichfavoured a cease-fire and negotiatedsettlement with the Confederacy. The PeaceDemocrats are presented as geese and asses,animals associated with silliness and symbolswhich Nast used for the party at this time.
