This legislation obviously is only just being introduced. You can't have managed enforcement action in relation to provisions that haven't yet been passed by the parliament. But, in terms of arrangements previous to the passage of this bill, the Electoral Commission absolutely enforces compliance with our electoral laws as appropriate. We have full confidence in the effectiveness of the Electoral Commission to do the job that Australians rely on.
