I thank the shadow minister for her contribution. I also thank the member for Banks, the chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, and of course the shadow minister, the deputy chair. What we have just witnessed demonstrates the real value to our parliament and to our process of discussing, debating and resolving changes to the Electoral Act, which is unique. It allows a properly constructed committee of the parliament after each election to contemplate elections, to contemplate fixing problems that arise and making improvements to the act. I thank both of them for their contributions.
