I thank the minister for her response. I understand that funds cannot be used to support the election of a candidate for a political party. I appreciate that. In effect, as I understand it, it means that an organisation which receives funds pursuant to this bill cannot, for example, support a Labor, Liberal or National Party candidate. I accept that but can it support a political cause? For example, the Work Choices campaign is not a political party.
