Recommendation 63: The Australian Government repeal the ‘unsound mind’ provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth) and work with State and Territory governments to review and benchmark all electoral laws against the CRPD. 4.22 Statistics and data collection (CRPD art 31, CO 53-56, LOI 33) 117. There is a lack of data on people with disability disaggregated by age, location, socio-economic status, cultural background, disability, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) status and priority population groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with disability. There is also no framework or nationally consistent measures for the collection and public reporting of disaggregated data across the obligations contained in the CRPD. These data gaps impede Australia’s capacity to monitor and report on the CRPD and the wellbeing of people with disability. 118. In July 2018, the Australian Government created the Office of the National Data Commissioner to oversee and monitor the integrity of Australia’s data system. The Commission welcomes this initiative. 119. The Productivity Commission recommended that a new NDA should establish a clear strategy for the collection, funding, and reporting of data required for the agreement’s performance reporting framework.117 The Commission is of the view that this strategy could form the basis of a broader data collection strategy for people with disability. 35
