The Australian Democrats oppose items 1 to 26 schedule 2 in the following terms:

(9)   Schedule 2, items 1 to 26, page 38 (line 5) to page 41 (line 20), TO BE OPPOSED.

I must apologise for my own amendment. It is faithfully repeated on the running sheet and headed ‘Control of multiple donations’, but this amendment actually relates to the thresholds. If you look at the bill, you will see that note on the amendment does not affect what I intend to do. This proposal is an attempt to be consistent with a view we have taken elsewhere, so I do not need to further motivate it.
