1. The Commonwealth Electoral Act requires compact, community-based electoral districts.
2. The Coriolis Effect in the Southern Hemisphere would cause the districts to swirl around the metro center in the other direction.

Lost the sweetest cat tonight unexpectedly; we know she was missing the kitten she got to raise all the way until he passed a few months ago.
Found in Central Square with 5 babies, got almost another 13 years with us (and Pesky), relished her role as a dorm cat but adjusted to human kids and house
