POLITICAL DONATIONS — LEGISLATION
772. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
I refer to media reports that the
Attorney General is seeking to introduce legislation amending political
donations and disclosure laws.
(1) Will the proposed legislation
include a cap on political expenditure per electorate?
(2) How will the spending cap be
determined?
(3) Will the
Attorney General consult with political parties and Independents when
determining such a cap?
Hon
MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:
I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(3) The drafting of
bills is a decision of cabinet and is cabinet-in-confidence.
