provided for federal purposes.

Disclosure of expenditure
 (5) Despite any State or Territory electoral law, a regulated entity is not required to disclose under that law an amount, or information relating to an amount, of expenditure if the expenditure is electoral expenditure.

Disclosure of debts
 (6) Despite any State or Territory electoral law, a regulated entity is not required to disclose under that law an amount, or information relating to an amount, of a debt (except a debt incurred as a result of a loan) if the debt is incurred for federal purposes.

Interpretation
 (7) Despite any State or Territory electoral law, if, as a result of this section, a person or entity is not required to disclose under that law an amount, information or value referred to in this section (the federal information), then:
 (a) it is immaterial whether the federal information is required to be included in a return provided under this Part; and
 (b) a total amount, or information relating to a total amount, that is required to be disclosed under that law is not required to include the federal information.
 (8) A non‑monetary benefit is a gift, or a good or service that is lent, that is not money.
 (9) For the purposes of this section, if an action (such as, giving or using) is taken in relation to a part of an amount or non‑monetary benefit for a particular purpose, and that same action is taken in relation to another part of the amount or benefit for a different purpose, each part of the amount or benefit is taken to be a separate amount or benefit.

Compulsory production provisions excluded
 (10) This section does not apply in relation to any compulsory production provision in a State or Territory electoral law.
 (11) A compulsory production provision in a State or Territory electoral law is a provision that confers a power on a person or body (the regulator) to compel a particular person to disclose information (including an amount or value) for the purposes of the regulator investigating a potential contravention of that or any other law.
Note: A provision that confers a power for a person or body to give a notice to produce to a regulated entity is an example of a compulsory production provision.
