The Committee Chair, Mr Jerome Laxale MP said, ‘We have already learnt so much from the candid submissions and statements we have received.

Community statements are essential to helping us understand what change is needed. If you want to speak to the Committee, you just need to tell us how you participated in the election and what you would like to talk to the Committee about.’ said Mr Laxale.
