I thank Senator Hume for her question. I met with the commissioner of the Australian Electoral Commission yesterday, and I'm very confident that they're full bottle on all of the issues that might arise in the course of the referendum. Of course, we've set aside a significant amount of funding to conduct the referendum, and I'd be confident, based on my discussions with the Australian Electoral Commission, that this referendum will be run in the same professional manner in which a general election would be run, and that all of the required rules around donations et cetera will be applied as they always are by the Australian Electoral Commission.
