CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): My question is to the minister responsible for the Electoral Commission of South Australia: 1.	At any point after the local government elections did the minister request a briefing or information from the Electoral Commission of South Australia regarding any issues with the election process? 2.	Does the minister believe that the Electoral Commission has failed in any of its obligations under either the Local Government Act or the Local Government (Elections) Act? 3.	Does the minister have full confidence in the Electoral Commissioner? The Hon. K.J.

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have any reason not to have confidence in the Electoral Commissioner. I'm not aware of anything that would suggest that there's been a failure under any legislation of the Electoral Commissioner, and I have discussed this matter a couple of times with my colleague the Minister for Local Government.
