- Abstract
- This article briefly outlines the Howard Government's changes to the Integrity Act by considering the inclusiveness of the electoral roll; the impact of early roll closure and why it wasn't as early as expected; whether unusually low admission rates of provisional votes cost Labor seats and affected the Senate result; how important individual incumbency was, buttressed as it was by expanded allowances for sitting members; why little can yet be said about the new funding and disclosure regime; and why this regime needs to be reformed.
