Electoral Matters calls for community input at November hearings in Brisbane
Parliament of Australia
The Electoral Matters Committee is inviting community input on the 2025 federal election at its upcoming hearings.
The Committee Chair, Mr Jerome Laxale MP said, ‘We have already learnt so much from the candid submissions and statements we have received. As the Committee makes its final trip of the year to Queensland, our focus remains clear: we want to hear from community members about their experience of the 2025 federal election.’
The Committee will be holding hearings in Brisbane (10 December 2025). As part of these hearings, members of the public will be invited to get on the record by making short verbal statements of up to 5 minutes.
‘Your insights, concerns, and lived experiences of the 2025 federal election are essential to shaping the work of the Committee. 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.
To register your interest in making a statement at upcoming hearings, contact the Committee Secretariat at [email protected].
