MINISTERIAL EXPERT COMMITTEE ON ELECTORAL REFORM
328. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Electoral Affairs:
Thank you, Madam Speaker. We were
informed just before coming into the chamber that that was the case. We will do
our best to put those questions that we have for the Premier and the Minister
for Health to the bottom of the list. As it happens, the first question of the
day is to the Attorney General.
I
refer the minister to his government's plan to reduce regional
representation in state Parliament and to the ministerial expert
committee he has commissioned to review and report on the system used for the
election of members to the Western Australian Legislative Council.
(1) Have the review and report been
concluded?
(2) Does the minister have a copy
of the report?
(3) When will the government table
the report in Parliament?
