The SA Liberal Party says proposed changes to the state's electoral boundaries are unnecessary and some 'appear to provide disruption for disruption sake only'.
The SA Liberal Party says proposed changes to the state's electoral boundaries are unnecessary and some "appear to provide disruption" for the "sake" of disruption.
State director of the SA Liberal Party Sascha Meldrum said the proposed changes in Giles, Stuart and Frome would bring those districts "within the permissible tolerance" but changes beyond that "are not required". "The boundary changes — the subject of the draft report — go too far, displacing one in five South Australian electors [240,000 people] from their electorates — many of the seat-specific changes are not necessary and some appear to provide disruption for disruption sake only," she wrote.
"Labor has four marginal seats out of 20 on its side of the pendulum and the Liberals have four marginal seats out of 27 on its side of the pendulum."
