Local Government Elections

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: is the Attorney suggesting that the Electoral Commissioner did not inform him of the issue?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:34): As I said, I will check, but to the best of my knowledge, no, not beforehand, because the Electoral Commission doesn't report to me, under the Local Government Act, on local government elections; it's the Minister for Local Government.
