Conclusion
It is important that Parliament is given sufficient time to consider any foreign influence registration scheme; it is unfortunate that these clauses were not in the Bill as introduced. Any foreign influence registration scheme must contain adequate protections to ensure that it does not interfere unduly with democratic rights, including freedom of association and free speech.
