Editing Gerrymandering (section)

====City of Sydney Council====
In 2014 the conservative Liberal Party NSW State Government gerrymandered the local [[City of Sydney]] council elections as part of their continued attempts to remove [[Clover Moore]] from elected positions. Moore had already been removed as a state government representative by laws banning serving simultaneously as a state representative and a local council member, and their attempt to remove her from the Council saw the State Government introduce a law giving all businesses in the area two votes and requiring the council to constantly update the electoral roll and inform each business of its eligibility to vote. Moore called the laws an "undemocratic gerrymander" and election analyst [[Antony Green]] said the changes were "clearly an attempt to disadvantage Clover Moore". The laws were specific to the City of Sydney council and not rolled out across the rest of the state councils. The attempt failed, and Moore retained her position as Lord Mayor of Sydney through multiple further elections.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/comment-why-clover-moore-is-better-at-politics-than-everyone-else/5xno6tpjt | title=Comment: Why Clover Moore is better at politics than everyone else }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/clover-moores-power-under-threat-after-more-than-20000-business-voters-enrolled-20160808-gqn92d.html | title=Clover Moore's power under threat after more than 20,000 'business' voters enrolled | date=8 August 2016 }}</ref>
