The exceptions are international organisations, as defined in section 7 by reference to section 186B of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act of 2005. I am sorry to send the Senator to that particular Act, which seems like an odd place to look for a definition of international organisation. In that definition, which is captured in this legislation, the exempted organisations would be the United Nations, the institutions and agencies of the European Communities, the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
