E-Petitions

Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council)· 28 June 2016general_report

The WA Legislative Council's Procedure and Privileges Committee (PPC) recommends trialling an E-Petitions process. The report details the PPC's review, consultations (including with the Environment and Public Affairs Committee (EPAC)), and proposed temporary orders for the trial. The EPAC raised concerns, but the PPC believes these have been addressed.

Impact

The introduction of e-petitions aims to modernize the petitioning process, potentially increasing public engagement with the Legislative Council. It may affect the workload of the EPAC, though the PPC anticipates a limited impact. The public will have a new avenue to raise grievances.
