House of Representatives
The Electoral Matters Committee
has commenced a review into the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Lowering the Donation Disclosure Threshold) Bill 2019.
The bill, introduced to the House of Representatives by Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie, would amend the Commonwealth Electoral Act to lower the political donation disclosure threshold from $13,800 to $1,000, and to remove ongoing indexation of that disclosure threshold.
The Committee invites written submissions addressing any or all aspects of the bill.
Prospective submitters are advised that any submission to the Committee’s inquiry must be prepared solely for the inquiry and should not be published prior to being accepted by the Committee.
Submissions are requested by 6 March 2020.
