Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters

Committee activities (inquiries and reports)

Inquiry into the 2007 Federal Election

On 27 February 2008 the Special Minister for State, Senator the Hon John Faulkner, asked the Committee to inquire into and report on all aspects of the 2007 Federal Election and matters related thereto.

On 12 March the Senate referred a similar reference to the Committee.

On 14 May 2007 the Senate referred the Commonwealth Electoral (Above-the-Line Voting) Amendment Bill 2008 for inquiry and report as part of its inquiry into the 2007 Federal Election.

The Committee has resolved to conduct one inquiry encompassing these three references.

On 18 June 2008 the Senate referred the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Political Donations and other measures) Bill 2008 for inquiry and report on 30 June 2009 in conjunction with the comittee's inquiry into the 2007 election.

The Committee encourages submissions to its inquiry from a wide range of individuals and organisations. While we prefer submissions lodged in an original electronic format, we do not want to exclude contributors who do not have access to computing facilities. Therefore, we will accept submissions in a range of formats which may include typewritten and handwritten documents. Submissions to this inquiry are listed below in Portable Document Format (PDF). If an alternative format (ie, hard copy or large print) is required, please contact the Committee Secretariat More submissions will be added to the list when they are received and authorised for publication.
