I thank Senator Lambie for that question. The Electoral Commission is an independent statutory authority. We are always open to receiving advice and representations from the electoral commissioner, Tom Rogers, in relation to staffing requirements. We believe that as it stands, based on current settings, the Electoral Commission is appropriately resourced. But there are always a range of things that come up and developments that arise, and we will continue to make the appropriate judgements on the appropriate level of resourcing.
