Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024
Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (20:59): It's weekly, until the last week when it becomes daily. That's significant because, for the first time in Australian electoral history, when you go into the ballet box to vote, you will know in advance who else is backing the particular candidate that you're contemplating voting for.
This is one of the historical changes and, I think, very beneficial changes to our democratic process that will result as a result of this legislation.
