I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that political activist organisation GetUp!:
(i) was seed-funded by organisations closely connected with Mr George Soros, a renowned globalist and funder of socialist politicians and causes,
(ii) has provided and received support for left-of-centre political parties, trade unions and other organisations, and
(iii) has actively campaigned like a political party, and in every such instance, against right-of-centre politicians during election periods; and
(b) affirms that GetUp! is deserving of greater electoral regulation or scrutiny, given its impact upon our political process, economic development, support for litigation against major job-creating projects, border protection policies, national security, sovereignty and our institutions.
