Protecting Queenslandersโ€™ privacy by ending political parties ๐Ÿคผ and MPs from harvesting votersโ€™ personal details ๐Ÿ‘Ž was the topic of my Private Members Motion (PMM). This was disappointingly voted down by the two majors.Given that the banning of this practice has been recommended by the Commonwealth Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, we all need to ask, why ?The Attorney-General (AG) in response to my motion claimed that I was incorrect regarding the Commonwealth recommendation, however since has confirmed that I was factual, with Recommendation 21 stating โ€œThe Committee recommends that section 184 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 be amended to clarify that postal vote applications must be sent directly to the Australian Electoral Commissionโ€™s nominated addresses.โ€We live in a world where trust is more important than ever. That trust includes Queenslanders having knowledge of how their private information is used and where it goes. This, we will not relent on ๐Ÿ™. ๐Ÿ‘‰ For more information and our previous Noosa 360 updates on Electoral Law reform, please visit www.sandybolton.com/?s=electoral+laws+and+political+parties ...
