I'm not aware of any specific advice that we have received in relation to foreign interference in the referendum. But, as always, I'm sure the AEC will monitors these issues. We know legislation has previously passed this Senate that prohibits the involvement of foreign entities in Australian electoral processes. I'm sure the AEC is very alert to those issues and would be watching very closely.
