One Nation does agree with the whole concept of this notice of motion, but I'd have to draw attention to section (f), where it states 'further recognises that donations to political parties revealed in the Australian Electoral Commission disclosures published on Monday demonstrate the need for urgent political donations reform'. That notice published on Monday was basically that the media said it was donations to the political party. It wasn't. It was revenue that was collected by the political parties from January 2018 to 2019. They were not political donations. It comes from membership and it comes from revenue and sales by the party, therefore I dispute the over $3 million as political donations to the political party that was published in the paper last Monday.
