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