Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:43): I did not see the program to which you refer. I am generally aware of it. I saw a promotional advertisement for it, so I am generally aware of the kind of allegations that were made in that program. I have no basis on which to judge the veracity or the accuracy of any allegations that were made during the course of that program. I acquaint you with what the Commonwealth does do to protect the Australian national interest in relation to corrupt foreign payments. Under section 70.2 of the Criminal Code we have the offence of 'foreign bribery', whereby a person is guilty of an offence if the person provides, causes or offers a benefit to another person, the benefit is not legitimately due and the person does so with the intention of influencing a foreign public official in the exercise of the official's duties in order to obtain business or obtain a business advantage that is not legitimately due. As well, Australia is a party to the OECD antibribery convention and has been since 1999. Australia is in fact a member of the OECD Working Group on Bribery. In 2012 the working group on bribery evaluated Australia's implementation of the antibribery convention. The evaluation report made 33 recommendations to enhance our antibribery regime. In December 2014, the OECD published the response, and the OECD— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Lambie: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I simply asked the senator to give me a guarantee that Chinese money that is funding his party's election campaigns is not ill-gotten gains, but, if the minister in his reply cannot table the figures, I have the figures here about what his political party gets in political donations. The PRESIDENT: That is not a point of order. The minister is in order. Senator BRANDIS: Coming to your question about donations to the Liberal Party, Senator Lambie, I have a very high level of confidence that all donations to the Liberal Party are compliant with all relevant Commonwealth and state laws.
