I'm honestly tempted! 1975 is one I really want to do! I also want to do the 1983 one in tribute to Prime Minister Bob Hawke. I'm also tempted to just start from the beginning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also tempted to just start from the beginning Keep in mind that, with the last option, the 1901-1919 Federal elections would be run the same as Canadian or British elections, as the Australian electoral system didn't start until 1921. Plus, the Australian Senate was originally appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Ministers, with the 12 members per State being an appointment quota, like Canada's Senate system - I can't remember the year Australian Senators started being elected. And, prior to 1974, the Northern Territory and the ACT had no members of Parliament at all - neither in the House of Representatives nor the Senate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lok1999 0 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Also to remember for 1901: SA elected all of its members on an at large ticket. Voters chose 7 candidates, and the top 7 vote-getters were elected. TAS used STV to elect its 5 members. Here's a good page talking about this, and the results:http://pappubahry.com/pseph/aus_stats/sa_tas_1901/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The other two parties seemed to only significantly differ in trade policy - they were actually outright called the Protectionist and Free Trade Parties. There also seemed to be a successfully elected Independent from Queensland, and possibly a number of failed Independent candidates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RI Democrat 39 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 For 2004, you should have an issue where the far-right position is, "It's acceptable for Labor to have a leader who will end up supporting Donald Trump, ranting about "left-feminism" and political correctness, and teaming up with Pauline Hanson." Then give Mark Latham the far-right position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheLiberalKitten 273 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Update: I'm almost finished with this scenario, just need to update the issues along with editing the leaders as well as editing the few remaining regions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
