Special Inquiry into the Planning and Delivery of the 2025 Western Australia State General Election

Petition

Hon Tjorn Sibma (1:05 pm): I present an e-petition containing 2,982 signatures, couched in the following terms:

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned …

are concerned citizens who are calling on the State Government to immediately release the final report of the Special Inquiry conducted by the Hon Malcolm McCusker AC CVO KC into the administration of the 2025 State Election. We are concerned by reports of ballot paper shortages, polling day mismanagement, and the outsourcing of key electoral functions. We believe public confidence in the Western Australian Electoral Commission must be restored through full transparency. We therefore request that the Legislative Council calls on the Government to table the full report without delay and without redactions.

And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.
