Hon ANDREW LITTLE: At the risk of indulging that member in his absurdity, the law is very clear about the power of the Electoral Commission. Its power runs to conducting inquiries. It is not an investigatory body. It's not a prosecuting body. It's made an inquiry in this and, no doubt, other circumstances, and where it has considered it appropriate to do so, it has passed matters on for further investigation and, potentially, subsequent prosecution, as they did in relation to the National Party's two dodgy donations.
