I take Senator Ronaldson’s interjection that the AEC said they could not do it. The question is though: what amendment does the AEC say would work to deal with the issue of behaviour and to deal with the issue of people masquerading as another political party in the context of how-to-vote cards. It is not a criticism of Senator Ronaldson; I want to make that clear. It is a concern that we may not be able to fix this problem before the next election given where we are in the electoral cycle.

Question negatived.
