The Australian Electoral Commission is the independent statutory authority that is responsible for the conduct of elections and for ensuring compliance with all aspects of relevant electoral laws. As I've indicated in my previous remarks, yes, there are penalties and compliance and integrity measures in place, including in this bill, to ensure compliance with these arrangements.
