(1) The objects of this Division are: (a) to ensure, to the extent possible, that only Australians and those with a genuine, legitimate stake in the outcomes of the Australian political process are able to influence those outcomes; and (b) to reduce the risk of foreign persons or entities influencing the results of Australian elections through electoral expenditure. (2) This Division aims to achieve these objects by limiting electoral expenditure and fundraising for electoral expenditure by foreign persons or entities that do not have a legitimate connection to Australia.
