We certainly will engage. We are genuinely looking at it.

As to the Mahon tribunal, the spirit of the recommendations to be transposed was to ensure that donations are in the public domain, which they are. I understand the spirit of the amendment is to ensure that when it comes to planning, people can join the dots easily and can see the information linked. There is merit in that. We merely have to find a way where we can slot it in where it fits.

I understand the intention of the Senator that it would be clear and transparent to everybody that the applicant made donations so one does not have to go looking through legislation to find it in some other place and that it is linked together. We are trying to see if we can find a way, and a space in the legislation, to do that.
