I wish to raise an issue similar to that raised by Senator Cullinane regarding the accounting units. It is good that each accounting unit of a party will be accountable. Indeed, parties and accounting units are already required to supply some information. However, if the names of the treasurers of a branches, for example, are to be submitted then there is an onus on the parties to inform such people of that fact before they take up office.
