It only began collecting fees on April 1 this year, and was funded by a $300 million loan from July 1 last year to April 1.

The legislation – which will see donations of more than $5000 disclosed – had its first reading yesterday, with National and ACT opposing it.

We could be hosting a future Commonwealth Games.

Grant Robertson – who is in Birmingham attending the games – hasn’t ruled out the possibility.
