It would seem that we would, at minimum, need some kind of coordination between the two, the collection officer and the superintendent, if that's the preferred route. It's something we would need to discuss.
One of the forms of collateral that was mentioned by the minister is what is known as a “rebate” to local campaigns or to the national level. One concern we've heard is that this gets banks into the business of projecting or predicting outcomes, because there's a threshold before rebates are payable—I think it's 10% at the moment—in terms of the electoral result.
Is this the kind of predicting that banks are going to be capable of doing? Will they accept rebates as collateral? Do they already in some circumstances?
