Also political donations should be limited to personal donations only by residents of an electorate limited to $1000 and personally paid electronically by the resident into an AEC holding account. This money's sources should be monitored for money laundering.



they should be banned altogether. Political campaigns should be govt. funded.

The only exception is to set up a pool where the altruistic can make donations to the AEC, however they can not determine where the money goes. The money in the pool is then split between all parties on a pro rata basis. That way no one can try to buy favours and the parties don't even know where the money came from.

Smiley Agree. If the taxpayer is funding the campaigns, a spending cap on campaigns will also need to be imposed.


I'm fine with that

sorry if I pinched your idea .. I think you first mentioned the 'pool' once .. I liked it and have run with it ever since.

That's OK, good ideas should be spread around.

It sounds as if the ALP is short of a quid.
What? the unions not squeezing enough out of their compulsory memberships?

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.
