I know Senator Lambie here, originally, was a United Australia Party candidate and a beneficiary of the great generosity of Clive Palmer. But these people up here, one of these days some of them are going to want to participate in the electoral process. I say to them: we're introducing a cap of $20,000 on donations. How many of you could afford to put your hand in your pocket and hand over to Mr Pocock, who you may wish to support, a $20,000 donation? These are reasonable limits. I believe they are limits that will survive a High Court challenge.
