The Online Advertising and Social Media (Transparency) Bill 2017 will be handled by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. It is part of the electoral legislation. I am sure the Minister will seek to adopt the principles set out in the Bill. The Department has articulated clearly what its definition of political purpose is and it has started to list what the informational requirements will be. Those requirements will have to be set out in legislative form so I expect there is a bit of work left in that.
