I thank the minister for his answer. Just to assist the minister, in the last seven years there has been nearly $2 million worth of foreign political donations to Australia, according to the AEC records. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the government aware that in the last seven years foreign donations have come in from the Channel Islands, New Zealand, Sweden, the Philippines, Great Britain, Liechtenstein, Germany, China, Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, India, Fiji and Taiwan, amongst others? Is the government aware of public concern that our democracy is for sale?
