by leave—I move Greens amendments (1) to (3) together:

(1) Schedule 4, item 3, page 22 (lines 32 and 33), omit "the disclosure threshold", substitute "$1,000".

(2) Schedule 4, item 3, page 23 (lines 1 and 2), "the disclosure threshold", substitute "$1,000".

(3) Schedule 4, item 3, page 24 (lines 14 and 15), "the disclosure threshold", substitute "$1,000".

The intention of these amendments is to enshrine the $1,000 disclosure limit for donations during referendums. We think it's a sensible policy. It's one that was actually announced by the Labor Party and it will only see the Labor Party fulfilling their promise on donation disclosures. We ask the government to support the amendments.
