I already flagged the Greens's support for Senator David Pocock's amendment in this respect, but I neglected to ask the minister one detailed question that pertains to the government amendment on sheet PX150. Some non-government organisations have asked for clarification. In relation to proposed section 109E, can you confirm that referendum entities are only required to disclose donations that they receive in the six months prior to the referendum? Will any disclosure be required for donations made earlier if the funds are spent during the referendum period? Thanks for clarifying that.
