	Australian legislative election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The election result was a triumph for Howard, who in December 2004 became Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister, and who saw the election result as a vindication of his policies, particularly his decision to join in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
		Most commentators, however, expected the election to be very close, pointing out that Labor was also ahead in the polls at the comparable point of the 1998 election, which Howard won.
		As in all Australian elections, the second-preference votes of minor parties were crucial in determining the outcome of this election, and the close of nominations was followed by a period of bargaining among the parties.

		The Australian Democrats have suffered from internal conflict and leadership changes since 2001 and are considered in grave danger of losing two or three seats, probably to the Australian Greens, who have seen a surge in their support in opinion polls.

		On 23 July 1998, the Tasmanian Parliament passed a Bill to reduce the size of the House of Assembly by 10, from 35 to 25.
		Looking at the 1998 results in Table 2, it is evident that both the number and percentage of female representation have decreased, although perhaps not as drastically as commentators expected.
		Only two women were elected in the 1998 ACT election (despite an increase in the number of female candidates standing), and both were from the electorate with seven members.

	Should the Australian Electoral System be Changed? (Current Issues Brief 10 1998-99)
		The second consequence of the operation of the Australian electoral system is that it also allocates seats in an upper house, a body that is usually seen as having some functions that are different from that which is sometimes called the 'house of government'.
		This was especially obvious in the landslide elections of 1966, 1975, 1977 and 1996 when the winning party gained a much higher proportion of seats than votes.(35) In 1996, for instance, the Coalition won 63.5 per cent of House seats on a first preference vote of just 47.2 per cent.
		After three uncontroversial elections in the first decade, in the 1910 election all 18 Senate seats were won by Labor, and in 1917 the eighteen were all won by the Nationalists.

	[No title]
		You can see that from the restrictive legislation and policies just mentioned and their effect on Aboriginal people (the way they lived, where they lived, what they could / couldn't do etc.) the eligibility of Aboriginal people to claim native title is very limited.
		Australians who are alive today cannot be held responsible for what other people did in the past.
		For Australians today to understand why we are implicated in past policies, we need to draw a distinction between the direct responsibility we bear for our personal actions, and our shared responsibility as members of a nation of what has been done in the name of that nation.
