I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 97 standing in my name for today relating to political donations, before asking that it be taken as a formal motion.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

  (i) since 2013-14, former Senator Day has donated over $500 000 and forgiven a loan of $1.47 million to Family First,

  (ii) an independent auditor's report in 2013 found Home Australia Group's liabilities exceeded its assets by nearly $31 million, and

  (iii) over 200 customers have been left with unfinished homes; and

(b) calls on the Family First Party to return all money received from Mr Day and his companies so that money can be used to pay creditors.
