Committee Chair, Kate Thwaites MP said, "The committee will hear from electoral analysts about the principle of ‘one vote, one value’ and examine proposals about representation in Parliament, the size of Parliament and opportunities for reform.

"The committee will also hear from third parties about how they engage in political advocacy and their position on proposed electoral reforms," she said.

The inquiry’s interim report was tabled in Parliament this week. The final report is due to be tabled before the end of this year.
