SUMMARY

As the above table shows, the percentage of single-member seats won by the parties of the incoming Coalition Government
(63.6%) is well in excess of the percentage of first preference votes they received (46.8%). The table shows that this
injustice would not have occurred if a Hare-Clark form of proportional representation had been used as the electoral
system.

Under a Hare-Clark system the percentage of Coalition seats would still have been an absolute majority, but it
would have been 50.7%, which is much closer to the minority of votes they received (46.8%) than is the result under the
distorting single-member system. The percentage of ALP Opposition seats (33.1%) is well below the percentage of voters
that gave their first preference vote to the ALP (38.8%).

With Hare-Clark casual vacancies filled by "countback" of general election ballot-papers, as in the Tasmanian and ACT
Assemblies, the predictable party continuity lets Governments last full term.

Also, under Hare-Clark, at least 6.8% of MHRs would have represented one other significant body of opinion, that 6.8% of
Australian voters that gave their first preference vote to the Australian Democrats. The present system excludes that
significant AD minority entirely, yet it awards the 8.2% National Party minority vote 12.2% of the seats, not the fairer 8.8%
that Hare-Clark would give.
