Local Government Elections: Finer points of council elections explained. Central Western Daily, Orange, NSW, 2 December 2021.

Activity: Engagement case studiesCommunity

Description

A commissioned research-based explanation of the NSW local government electoral system.

This activity is complex because it involves the collection, explanation, interpretation, and presentation of diverse and contested theoretical ideas. It is complex because it translates theoretically difficult concepts into easily understandable terms for a non-specialist audience and applies them to a contemporary context. It is complex because it draws on knowledge acquired through my research on democracy published over several years. This means that time and effort cannot be quantified with precision but that it is, nevertheless, substantial. The diversity of end-users can be assumed from the collective readership of the newspapers which published the article. The engagement plans and briefings occurred with the commissioning editor.
