     They were; a) lowering the vote threshold so that a party with 3% of the vote can have MPs in parliament, instead of having to get to 5%

     b) abolishing the "coat-tailing" rule that allows parties that win an electorate, but poll under the threshold,, to still bring in extra MPs

     Correction, the Electoral Commission's recommendation was to lower the 5% threshold for entering parliament to 4%
