Talk:Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly

message: I've changed the categories on this article as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics/Parliaments. It may seem unnecessary in the context of the very few articles in the ACT categories, but it will acheive consistency among Aust Parl categoriess and international legislature categories.  -- Adz|talk 12:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've added the Chief Minister to the infobox - but other similar articles such as NSW Legislative Assembly and NT Legislative Assembly just list the speaker. Is it helpful to list the leader of the government as well? twilsonb (talk) 04:38, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leadership - Cheif Minister? 

message: " In July 2006, the Federal Government again threatened to overrule the ACT Stanhope Government's anti-terror legislation, which was not consistent with other state laws."
I changed this sentence,  because the previous version was grammatically wrong.   However, it is still unclear.   Did the Australian Parliament actually overrule the ACT law,  or was the ACT assembly persuaded to amend or repeal its own law ?Eregli bob (talk) 01:35, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 conflict between ACT and Federal government 

message: Excuse my ignorance, but why is it that the three electoral districts don't elect the same number of members?  I'm don't think this is even legal where I live; it's almost all one person, one vote all the way down save for the Senate.  Is Canberra's legislative set-up unusual for even Australia? --Criticalthinker (talk) 15:17, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it's unusual, in fact unique. No other parliament has this sort of arrangement; though almost all Australian parliaments have one chamber elected from multi-member electorates, each electorate elects the same number of members. The ACT follows "one person one vote" better than some others though, since Mongolo with a larger population elects more members than the other two electorates, unlike the Senate or the Western Australian Legislative Council where low-population states/regions elect the same number of members as high-population ones. The reason for the ACT's strange arrangement is that the Federal Parliament established a 17-member ACT assembly, giving it the power to change its own electoral system but not its size. It was originally elected by an at-large party list system, but when Hare-Clark was brought in multiple electorates were needed and there was no other option but uneven electorates, since 17 is a prime number. However, legislation has now been passed increasing the size of the assembly to 25, with 5 electorates each electing 5 members, which will take effect from the next election.

replies: text: Source: http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2014/03/act-legislative-assembly-set-to-increase-in-size.html. The above info should probably be added to the article, though I'm not quite sure how to do it. Colonial Overlord (talk) 04:07, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the quick response!  Yeah, that information about the proposed changed should be added.  BTW, for anyone who regularly edits the page, I'd create a "Composition" category to place the information about size and how members are elected to the body in. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: The ACT Government lead by health minister Gallagher enabled a system of abuse where victims to be abused would be declared by a court process which made sure to delete metadata that disproved police allegations.
Victims of the abuse range from criminals to suspected-woman-haters where upon no evidence of an actual crime was needed apart from the phonetic ravings of a Government staff member whom assumed they were above others within the same Government and could use this hierarchy system to enable action upon the victim, many of whom knew not of the hierarchy system but held to an ideal of Justice which sadly is lacking in Canberra courts as they only exist to assist police in the improper application of the rules of law and abuse court process for the instant conviction with possibility of no trial what so ever.
The ACT Government ministers like to have people raped - and to conceal police making statements in support of rape the Government will send armed officers to 'check upon the health' of anyone with such evidence in the hope another suicide by cop goes under-reported (some professor will need 400k in grants if the press is good and that helps the Govt inject the bashed victims of drunks while the political party accepts donations from like minded animals).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.175.63.236 (talk) 08:52, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
