J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  It was reported on 10 August this year in InDaily that, 'Labor vowed before the election to ban all political campaign donations from individuals, businesses and unions, with political parties potentially moving solely to a public funding model.' My question to the minister is: as the minister responsible for the Electoral Act, is the Attorney-General committed to actually banning all individuals, businesses and unions from producing any election material in the changes to legislation?</text>
