Description

  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-11-22.129.2) to agree with the main idea of the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill [for a second time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/). This means that they can now consider it in greater detail.
  • ### What is the bill's main idea?
  • According to the [bill homepage](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r6752), the bill:
  • > *Amends the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 to reduce from $500 000 to $100 000 the threshold for electoral expenditure that can be incurred by an individual or organisation before they are required to register as a political campaigner.*
  • More detail is included in the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd2122a/22bd015).
