No, Senator. In fact, there's a package of three bills. Two of them are in the Attorney-General's portfolio and one of them is in the portfolio of the Special Minister of State. It's as simple as that. That's always been the position. The regulation of foreign donations is a matter for the Special Minister of State. The Commonwealth Criminal Code is a matter for the Attorney-General. The transparency scheme, which I outlined in answer to Senator Macdonald's question, is also a matter for the Attorney-General's portfolio. The legislation will be introduced as a package.
