Does the minister have direct concerns about the integrity of the local government election process and outcomes, and, if so, what are they?</text>

BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs) (15:04):</by>  I thank the member for his question. As we are all aware in here, the member for Flinders, as an ex President of the Local Government Association, is very well aware and understands, as we all do, that after each election the Electoral Commission will have a review of the whole process.</text>
        <text id="20221129968839bc2cc5424ea0000644">As I said earlier, I am in the process of arranging a meeting with the Electoral Commissioner. At the same time, I am also having a look at the opportunities and what we have done at the last election across all of South Australia. As a previous President of the Local Government Association, the member for Flinders would be very aware that local government reviews are always held by the Electoral Commission afterwards. We will have that meeting as soon as we can, and I am happy to have a liaison with the member for Flinders.</text>
