The Attorney-General mentioned that he had former ministerial responsibility, so my supplementary question is: did the Electoral Commission of South Australia raise the issues and provide a briefing to the Attorney-General when he had ministerial responsibility for the commission at the time?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:46):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't recall specifically it being raised by the Electoral Commissioner in terms of artificially generated content. I think this is an area that is developing extraordinarily rapidly and at pace. As I said, it is certainly something we are looking at in terms of possible electoral reform, but also noting that there are already tools that our South Australian Electoral Commissioner has that aren't replicated federally in terms of misleading content.</text>
