Thank you, Mr Speaker. The Australian Electoral Commission has advised the Special Minister of State that there is no evidence that disclosure obligations in the Commonwealth Electoral Act have been breached and, at this time, there is nothing in this matter that would warrant referral to the Australian Federal Police, and the AFP has not received any referrals. In the past, the member for Isaacs, who is the shadow Attorney-General and a former Attorney-General, has always been very generous with his free advice to the Australian Federal Police. If he feels that this conclusion by the AEC is inadequate or the AFP should have matters drawn to their attention, I have no doubt that he will write to them in the normal way.
