Could we please deal with them separately?

You'd like to do them separately again? Sure. The question is that the remaining stages of the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Party Registration Integrity) Bill 2021 be agreed to and the bill be now passed.
Question agreed to.

It is so recorded, and the third reading, as just done then, as well.
Bill read a third time.
I will deal with the other two bills together unless someone is asking for them to be separated. The question, for the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Counting, Scrutiny and Operational Efficiencies) Bill 2021 and the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Offences and Preventing Multiple Voting) Bill 2021, is that the remaining stages of those bills be agreed to and the bills be now passed.
Question agreed to.
