Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:25): Thank you very much for that question. What I would say—as you've indicated what former senator Bolkus has done—is that all companies consider their obligations under the scheme. Whether a person or an entity is required to register will depend, of course, on who the foreign principal is, the nature of the activities undertaken, the purpose for which the activity is undertaken and also, in some cases, whether the person has held a senior public position in Australia. The Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme commenced on 10 December last year, and its purpose is to provide public and government decision-makers with visibility of the nature, level and extent of foreign influence on Australia's government and political processes. The PRESIDENT: Senator Patrick, on a point of order? Senator Patrick: I'm trying to get to the concerns that you have in respect of the established foreign influence in this particular case on the WPA. The PRESIDENT: On the point of order, Senator Patrick, that was the final part of your question. The minister is allowed to address other parts of the question. You've reminded her of that. Senator REYNOLDS: What I have done is advise Senator Patrick of the process which applies to all applicants. It is the same rules for everybody under the FITS. What I've said stands in relation to CU-River.
