I present the seventh report of the Petitions Committee for the 45th Parliament together with nine petitions and 11 ministerial responses to petitions previously presented. The terms of the petitions and the ministerial responses will be printed in Hansard. Of the nine petitions I have tabled today, seven have been lodged through the electronic petitioning system. These seven electronic petitions received 10,689 electronic signatures overall. The largest number of signatures to one e petition tabled today was 8,356. These large numbers of signatures demonstrates the ease in which principal petitioners are able to gather signatures electronically using the House's e petitions system. I will update the House regularly on the use of the e-petitions system.
