Western Australian Electoral Commission—Consultant
676. Hon Rob Horstman to
the minister representing the Minister for Electoral
Affairs:
I refer to evidence
provided during budget estimates that a consultant is working with the WA Electoral
Commission to examine, and I quote "what a really good contemporary
electoral commission structure looks like."
(1) Does the consultant work for a firm and, if
so, which firm?
(2) What is the duration of the consultant's
engagement?
(3) What is the total cost of engaging this
consultant?
(4) Is the consultant required to prepare a report
or other documents as part of their engagement and, if so, will the minister
commit to tabling these documents publicly once completed?
