"sneaky, excessive and unjustified" says #AnneTwomey one of australia's leading constitutional legal experts.
don't be fooled by the veneer of integrity messaging, this bill is aimed at halting australian voters' shift away from the two party system.

Excellent analysis from constitutional law professor Anne Twomey of the Labor/Coalition duopoly's shamelessly self-interested and constitutionally questionable rigging of our electoral donation and funding law. #auspol

We deserve better than this!
They will do anything to stack the deck in their favor.
Or is the only fix to reduce the level of funding (which ofc makes donations relatively more important and therefore corrupting)?
one idea that’s been trialled in seattle is giving every voter 4 x $25 “democracy vouchers” which can be given to the party/candidate of your choice.
one principle: expenditure caps should be fair, and not advantage incumbents or parties. the bill falls way short on this.
Many Australians will see the corrupt nature of the related entity exceptions & $ per vote doubling, and realise the duopoly has to go.
It is such an insult to our intelligence and our so-called democracy.
to the supermarket duopoly.
This Bill is aimed at entrenching Australia's political Colesworth.
And its impact on citizens will be similar; denial of choice and value. #auspol
