Glad to see somebody gets it. Should have happened here years ago, but the politicians never had the guts to do anything that might limit their own income.
Our legislators have been betraying us for decades.
Australia has an election due in a few months, too. So hopefully this kicks in in time for it. We have a couple of billionaires who spend up big on our elections.
It will be hard to get similar passed hear. The Dems could probably do ok… in general more wealth is held by Dems.. GOP constituency won’t be able to give much.. so they will demonize it… but it should absolutely be passed here..
Now America needs to do the same as well as getting rid of citizens United then either weaken the electoral colleges power to a stop gap measure to keep trump out of office or eliminate it all together. I prefer they eliminate the electoral college end the ability gerrymandering for all parties
Our lethargic&tired response to our role as the leading force behind democratic principles and progress is jeopardy…
Elon Musk minus KETAMINE &other mind altering drugs would’ve been great benefit to humans.Nay,in cahoot with mad man Trump the whole equation’s of course-way off base in every sense!
I'd be interested to see how they're going to enforce it. I can see direct Cash. Involvements but ancillary involvements will get around it no problem. He can just tell people here's $1,000 now. Donate this 20 grand for me. So how do you catch that?
If I remember correctly, political donations are a form of expression and thus protected under the First Amendment, Australia has no constitutional right to freedom of speech. In Australia, our freedom of speech relies on the people demanding and protecting our freedom of speech.

What is surprising is that it can be bought so very cheaply.
The $200-ish million Musk spent is the equivalent to about $50 for an average person
Why’s America not leading in all of this?!?
