In 2016 a grant of $5,000 is available to undertake the following study:

A statistical analysis of the outcome of South Australian elections.  The statistics produced will examine the 2PP and the outcomes of elections in SA in comparison with the 2PP and election outcomes in other Australian states.  The study will examine whether the ‘fairness clause’ in South Australia has led to election outcomes where the Party that receives the majority of the vote forms government more or less often than other jurisdictions.
