With regard to the critical election incident public protocol panel, I'm wondering why there are two significant omissions there in terms of the presence of the Chief Electoral Officer and the Privacy Commissioner, both of whom have much more relevance, I believe, with regard to the protection of privacy and the protection of the electoral process. Certainly these officials are well equipped with regard to foreign hacking and foreign electronic digital interference. In view of the recommendations that the Privacy Commissioner has been making for a couple of years, I'm surprised that he doesn't have a look-in on this panel.
