QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the 2017 State General Election - Election Report published by the Western Australian Electoral Commission in August 2017, and I ask: (a) has the Minister considered the six recommendations contained within the report; (b) if yes to (a), what is the Governments response to each recommendation; (c) if the Government has not yet considered the report and its recommendations, when does it intend to do so; (d) recommendation one of the report recommends a 'comprehensive review' of the Electoral Act 1907 be undertaken at the 'earliest opportunity', does the Minister agree with the recommendation and, when and in what form will the review be undertaken; and (e) do you intend to amend the Electoral Act 1907 , if so when do you expect to introduce an amendment bill?
