The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: You can answer it, but I don't know that it is a supplementary question. The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for her question. I did extensively traverse the election process for the First Nations Voice election. As the Hon. Tammy Franks is well aware, and I think some others may be aware, the Electoral Commissioner is an independent statutory position and undertakes their function independently from government.
