The main rule that I can speak to is related to what is called “undue influence by foreigners” in the act. That relates to a prohibition of incurring any expense during the election period to promote or oppose a candidate or a party. There are exceptions for a personal opinion or for media, for example. This is a restriction that applies only during the election period, and in my recommendation to Parliament, I suggested that it be extended beyond that period.
There was also a significant review of the third party funding regime. That was not specifically aimed at foreign interference, but there are aspects of the regime that do target that. I have also made some recommendations to Parliament there to reinforce rules on how third parties may use their own funds for regulated activities, given how this could allow foreign funding to penetrate our system. I have made some recommendations in that regard.
