Why do we need to know who funds these thinktanks when the following is public knowledge:“The #progressive Australia Institute, the #right-leaning Centre for Independent Studies and the #conservative Institute of Public Affairs argue they cannot reveal their donors without exposing them to attack from political opponents.” That all we need know right there… and the same goes for other thinktanks, political lobbies, foreign agents, embassies, corporate news outlets, and the list goes on…
I think Henry Belot is confusing private enterprise with politicians and political parties where transparency and accountability is a democracy defence mechanism.
