Western Australian Electoral Commission—Consultant
676. Hon Rob Horstman to the minister representing the Minister for Electoral Affairs:
I refer to evidence provided during budget estimates that a consultant is working with the WA Electoral Commission to examine, and I quote "what a really good contemporary electoral commission structure looks like."
(1) Does the consultant work for a firm and, if so, which firm?
(2) What is the duration of the consultant's engagement?
(3) What is the total cost of engaging this consultant?
(4) Is the consultant required to prepare a report or other documents as part of their engagement and, if so, will the minister commit to tabling these documents publicly once completed?
Hon Matthew Swinbourn replied:
I thank the member for some notice of the question. I represent the Minister for Electoral Affairs, so the following answer has been provided to me.
(1) It is Bendelta.
(2) It is eight weeks.
(3) It is $149,807.
(4) The consultant will deliver a detailed report to the Western Australian Electoral Commission.
