That the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters inquire into and report on:
- whether the existing cap on electoral expenditure by third-party campaigners for an Assembly by-election under section 29(11) of the Electoral Funding Act 2018 is reasonably adequate;
- if the answer to question 1 above is ‘no’, what the amount of the applicable cap should be; and
- whether the prohibition on third-party campaigners acting in concert with others to incur electoral expenditure in excess of the applicable cap on electoral expenditure in section 35 of the Electoral Funding Act 2018 should be retained, amended or repealed.
