MINISTERIAL EXPERT COMMITTEE ON ELECTORAL REFORM
338. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Electoral Affairs:
I refer to the electoral reform process
embarked upon by the state government, which was not on the agenda immediately
prior to the last election.
(1) Is the ministerial expert
committee on track to report by the end of June 2021?
(2) Will the minister please list
the submissions made to the committee to date?
(3) Will the minister commit to
releasing the report of the committee; and, if so, when?
(4) What is the
expected total cost of the ministerial expert committee to date, and what are
the individual costs incurred for committee members to date?
Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN
replied:
I thank the member for some notice
of the question. I provide the following response on behalf of the Minister for
Electoral Affairs.
(1) Yes.
(2) Submissions are publicly
available as they are processed at www.waelectoralreform.wa.gov.au.
(3) The minister
will table the report in Parliament after it has been considered by government.
(4) The total
cost is yet to be determined. So far, the committee has incurred $3 312.08 in
advertising costs.
