Reported at www.abc.net.au: WA Nationals leader Shane Love has called for an investigation by the Corruption and Crime Commission into the outsourcing of electoral staffing to the company PersolKelly, amid significant election day issues, including ballot shortages and long wait times.

Love has also raised concerns about political donations made by PersolKelly’s parent company to the WA Labor Party, questioning their legality under state laws governing corporate donations.

The WA Electoral Commission has defended its decision to outsource staffing, stating that a competitive tender process was followed, while promising an independent investigation into the election’s issues.
