00:00Foreign nationals can go to America, campaign, speak, give opinions, that's all within the rules.
00:07But not if they're being provided money to do it. They have to do it off their own back.
00:13And what was very clear from the advert that went out from the Labour Party,
00:17there was no mention of paying your own way in terms of airfares.
00:21It was explicit that accommodation would be free.
00:25Many of those that were going would have been on the Labour Party's payroll.
00:29And I think for those reasons, on the face of it, under the Federal Electoral Commission rules,
00:35I think there's little doubt that the Democrats are in breach of the law.
00:39Now look, it's all well and good for Labour now to backtrack.
00:41Oh, they're going in their own time. But that's not what the advert said.
