I move:

That the Senate calls on the Government to amend the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 before the next federal election to incorporate a Truth in Political Advertising Unit to monitor and regulate political advertising to ensure it is true and accurate.

Question put.

I understand there could be further divisions. Senator Ludlam, we will deal with your motion.
