The arrangements are precisely the same as they would be during an election campaign. Paid advertisements obviously have to be authorised. In relation to the sorts of matters that Senator Bernardi describes, if they directly relate to the marriage law survey or to the question before the Australian people as part of the Australian marriage law postal survey, then these matters would have to be appropriately authorised, which is precisely the way this would be handled in the context of an election.
