Labor won't be supporting these amendments by Senator Lambie and Senator Patrick. Our policy is for increased transparency through a lower disclosure threshold and real-time disclosure of donations. We welcome support by senators for Labor's bills currently on the Notice Paper for real-time disclosure and a disclosure threshold of $1,000. All electoral reform requires consideration. The issues raised by these amendments require further discussion and review. These amendments had not been discussed before with the opposition, and we haven't had time to discuss them with Senator Patrick or, indeed, have consultations across the opposition. We won't be supporting them.
