Question
(Post-election information sharing)
[UPT page 48]
THE CHAIR: One last question in this thread. I guess based on your experience of recent years, Ms Leigh, do you have any views on how the conventions might be amended to accommodate the scenario of multi-party governments? Given the history of the Assembly, obviously my own particular views on this aside, we have got a long history of not majority governments, just the one. We are going to seemingly invariably end up in circumstances where there are a range of parties or groups, individuals, trying to work it out. And invariably, one party probably has a far better access to information than the others in that context. So how might the Caretaker Conventions or the processes of information sharing out of post-election period better address that?
Ms Leigh: That is a very complex question, and I do not think it is one I should answer off the top of my head.
THE CHAIR: Do you want to take it on notice and reflect later to the committee, or Ms Leigh: I am happy to take it on notice. I am not sure to what extent I will be able to assist you, but I am happy to reflect on that.
