I was amazed redistricting wasn't done by independent bodies

Boundaries for the Australian House of Representatives and for the six state and two territorial legislatures are drawn up by independent authorities, at the federal level by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and in the states and territories by their equivalent bodies. Politicians have no influence over the process, although they, along with any other citizen or organisation, can make submissions to the independent authorities suggesting changes.

Can't put an end to redistricting as population changes but maybe have an impartial group set up districts


I agree with that. After multiple lawsuits in NC the courts finally got fed up with the GOP maps and appointed an independent commission to get the maps correct.
