Australian Federal Politics Eyed for Party Power Plays
A lengthy discussion outlines rivalries within the Australian Federal sphere. W M Hughes and Marr loom as potential disruptors amid defections and refusals of party funding. Thompson, Abbott, and Page feature in plots, while the Speakership fight tests Groom versus Bayley with party unity at stake.
Boundary changes eyed as extra seat may be allocated
Potential trouble makers are noted but the main point is that distribution of seats must occur before the next elections. A review by the government could yield an extra seat, totaling seven. Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria face extensive boundary alterations guided by population shifts. In New South Wales, Darling may stay intact while eastern borders of other electorates expand. Reid electorate is the most affected with about 25,000 too many voters.
