Comments

The Finance and Economics Committee does not consider that it is appropriate to compare the cost of a referendum with that of a Senatorial election. In the absence of a mechanism for holding referenda, the cost cannot be quantified.

However, on the basis of the limited information contained in the Senator's report and proposition, the proposal would appear not to have a significant financial impact on the General Revenues of the States.
