My question is to the Special Minister of State, Senator Farrell. The Liberals and the no campaign unashamedly used and amplified disinformation and misinformation in their campaign to defeat the Voice referendum. It was straight out of Donald Trump's playbook. Until we have truth in political advertising laws, those tactics can be used again, likely on migration. The next election will be a horror show of scare campaigns and misinformation. Polling released today shows that 87 per cent of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Does the government want to confront the issue of misleading political advertising or is avoiding that and doing a deal with the Liberals on electoral changes more important to them?
