I am more than happy to do that. This is a sector I have worked in and was involved in for many years. I value the impartiality of civil society organisations and their ability to play a critical role in our electoral system. It is important that they have the mechanism to do that. Likewise, the corporate influence Deputy O'Callaghan raised is something we can address in the review as well. It is important that we do that. In meeting with the coalition, I gave a firm commitment that we want to resolve this in a manner that allows civil society organisations to campaign, lobby and advocate in the way they currently do, and do very well. We want to do that in a robust way and we are of the view that this is the best way to do that. I am more than happy to come back to the committee on the mechanics of how we might achieve that.
