What is a foreign 'influencer'? I know what a foreign agent is.

That's a funny story in so many ways. Abbott: “Any suggestion that I was a foreign influencer is absurd ...' Correct, he's no influencer. 😃 Abbott: 'I decline to register.” In 2018 the LIBERAL govt passed the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme Act. 🤣 Abbott

Didn't he vote for this legislation?

We can't just say 'you can't run' when no trial has been convened nor verdict rendered. Would we be better without him? Arguably yes. But we can't dismiss out of hand without a court ruling on his alleged crimes. Worth considering 🤪 Use of class A drugs is illegal. But I think Vaz needs counselling not thrown under bus
