MINISTERIAL
EXPERT COMMITTEE ON ELECTORAL REFORM
329. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Electoral Affairs:
I have a supplementary question. Can
the minister advise what priority the legislation will be given on the
parliamentary agenda; is it one of the government's main priorities to
be completed before the end of this year?

AnswerView source ↗

The Leader of the Opposition would
have to ask the Leader of the House that question. Obviously, the matter has had priority because I convened a ministerial
expert panel to report by, I think, 30 June. As the member knows, we rose for the winter break and ministers and
opposition members have been away on leave. I am getting it together, back for
full discussion with the full cabinet, and we will table the report. The
cabinet will make decisions accordingly.
