All political donations ought to be banned outright and replaced by a fair and equitable public funding scheme (through major reforms to the AEC Act, regs and electoral legisltation in all Australian jurisdictions). Stepwise implementation is ok as far as it goes, but there needs to be an unltimate goal articulated here as well. Imo :)
Political Parties revenues ought to be restricted to membership contributions (with defined benefits) and publicly scrutinised fundraising events imo. By focusing on membership and *volunteers* political parties will need to pay more attention to the *Communities* their candidates wish to represent.
I’m opinionated on this topic, but willing to listen and change my opinion.
