Can the minister guarantee there won't be any additional costs to the Adelaide Plains Council due to the mistake identified by the Electoral Commission? The Hon. G.G. BROCK House of Assembly Stuart Minister for Local Government Minister for Regional Roads Minister for Veterans Affairs Local Government Elections The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs) (14:50): Thank you to the shadow minister. As I indicated a minute ago, we have had a briefing from the Electoral Commissioner, and what I will be doing is liaising with the Electoral Commissioner. As I said, the Electoral Commissioner is independent of this parliament and is independent of all ministerial duties—and also, from the shadow minister's point of view, he understands that. I will be communicating and working with the Electoral Commissioner. As I said, I will certainly liaise with the shadow minister regarding the process as we go along with that. At this particular point I have no further information, but certainly for the shadow minister I am prepared to ensure that he is completely updated on the process from hereon in.
