As expected South Australia’s entitlement in the House of Representative has been reduced by one.
SA will go from 11 seats down to 10.
“The figures show the population has increased sufficiently to result in Victoria and the ACT each increasing their entitlement by one seat,” AEC’s Tom Rogers said on Thursday. “At the same time, the entitlement for South Australia will decrease by one seat.”
