Electronically Assisted Voting

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:33): Further supplementary: has the Electoral Commission and the Electoral Commissioner made recommendations to that effect in terms of such legal changes?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:33): I thank the honourable member for her question. My recollection is that, after the 2018 election, I think recommendations may have been made—whether not directly to that but to a similar effect. Legislation was put forward by the former government that overreached so tremendously that nothing ever passed. I can't remember what the current recommendations are, there are a number of them, but we will no doubt return to this parliament to improve democracy as best we can.
