John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

I accept the point the Norris makes – it could be three quarters. That should not be contemplated for one second. We need to see the matter in that context.

I am an enthusiastic supporter of electronic voting, although not of the way the results were announced at some elections. The issue highlighted was with regard to the integrity of the ballot paper and the capacity for interference. There is that capacity within the existing system. The Department of the Environment and Local Government has given assurances with regard to this aspect. However, it would be useful for the House to look at the issue.
