"Elections 2.0: Reflections on the 2010 federal election and the future of Australian electoral law"

An article I wrote on the 2010 federal election has been published by the Alternative Law Journal:

Elections 2.0: Reflections on the 2010 federal election and the future of Australian electoral law

This article analyses the 2010 federal election and the impact the internet and social media had on electoral law, and what this may mean for electoral law in the future.  Four electoral law issues arising out of the 2010 election as a result of the internet are considered, including online enrolment, regulation of online advertising and comment, fundraising and the role of lobby groups, especially when it comes to crowdsourcing court challenges.  Finally, the article offers some suggestions as to how the parliament and the courts should respond to these challenges.
