First Nations Voice Elections

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Supplementary: has the minister been briefed on any estimated number of voter turnout since the elections on the 16^th?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:27): As I said, I don't have final figures. I have had some very rough figures, but we are still waiting on postal votes and I wouldn't want to talk about figures until we have final figures. I know that there were people who were at polling booths who have also said that the—I think there were 32 polling booths on the Saturday. Some of those were quite busy and some of those were not very busy at all.

Certainly, I went to a couple to talk to people on the Saturday. Tauondi College in Port Adelaide had a steady stream of people coming through. Not far from there, there was the Cheltenham Community Centre, a booth that seemed very, very slow, and I guess again there will be things that will be learnt from how far apart polling booths are in terms of how busy they will be, but I certainly will be happy when there are those figures to provide an update.
