Following the structure and format of previous reports which review federal elections, the Committee presents in this interim report information received on this latest election and highlights areas where the case has been made for reform to be undertaken. The remainder of the introductory chapter presents facts and figures about the 2022 election.

Chapter Two focusses on issues related to money. This includes political donations and disclosure, transparency, campaign expenditure, and the regulation of political campaigners and associated entities. As noted earlier, these are complex and highly intertwined issues and as such the Committee has tried to consider the system as a whole.

Chapter Three explores trust in the electoral system and options for truth in political advertising.

Chapter Four outlines electoral participation and lifting enfranchisement of Indigenous people, foreshadowing that the Committee is continuing to gather evidence on these matters for more detailed consideration in its final report.
