Union says democracy ‘worth protecting’
The Public Service Association (PSA) has urged the State Government to up its funding of the NSW Electoral Commission.
The Electoral Commissioner, Rachel McCallum, has asked the State Government to upgrade the agency’s information technology infrastructure to boost its defences against system failure and to boost protections against attacks, particularly those using artificial intelligence.
The PSA represents staff at the NSW Electoral Commission.
PSA General Secretary Stewart Little said the agency plays a vital role in protecting democracy in the state.
“The Treasury needs to fully fund the NSW Electoral Commission,” he said.
The Public Service Association of NSW and Community and Public Sector Union (SPSF Group) NSW Branch acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work and the places in which we live. We pay respect to Ancestors and Elders, past, present and future. We recognise the unique cultural and spiritual relationship and celebrate the contributions of first nations peoples to Australia.
