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) (22:20): The government always supported a JSCEM review. Kate Thwaites and all of the people on that committee have done a terrific job over the last three years in getting us to this point. They should be congratulated for the work that they've done.

I'm very comfortable with a JSCEM review. The CHAIR: The time for consideration of the bill has expired. After I put the questions before the chair I will then put the questions on the remaining stages of the bill.

I will now deal with the Committee of the Whole amendments, starting with the amendments moved by Senator Farrell. The first question is that the amendments moved by Senator Farrell on sheets EE102, EE103, EE105, FJ101, SC130, SC131, SC136 and SC138 be agreed to.
