It is unfortunate that this debate on electoral reform has been gagged. The Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Modernisation and Other Measures) Bill 2010 goes to the integrity of our electoral process. It is the underpinning of our democracy. Those on the other side are giving no due respect to the electoral reform bills.
