The point of order is that I asked a question about a membership fee, not a donation. There is a clear difference, and if you put a limit on membership fees that means I think this would be in breach of ILO conventions. Unions are entitled to operate free from undue government interference. It doesn't happen much in this country, but this is a big problem. Workers will suffer because of this One Nation coalition axis. This is not good.

Progress reported.
