I want to place on the record that the Greens do not support this amendment. We are already concerned at the enormous amount of disinformation and lies being spread in relation to the 'no' campaign. We think that this is already wrecking huge damage on the unity of the country and the success of the referendum, which the Greens fully support. Of course, if there was truth in the political advertising, we might feel different about this, but we do not support the idea that people should be able to get a tax deduction by funding disinformation and lies.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with an amendment; report adopted.
