There are lessons to be learned from the Auditor-General's review of last year's election.  

The report's found the final check of the official election results was done within a few hours on the day it was announced.  

The rushed assessment failed to identify multiple errors. 

It also recommends improvements to controls, quality assurance, recruitment, training, and risk management 

Political commentator Grant Duncan told Mike Hosking that people at the polling stations seemed to be under a lot of pressure.  

But, he says, it's good to see a systematic approach taken by the Auditor-General and robust recommendations.
