In the dark: almost 40% of Coalition funds in past 20 years came from unknown donors
Analysis of political donations over two decades reveals disturbing extent of ‘dark money’ given to all major parties

what a list.... i can see how we dropped from 7th to 12. Especially with things like:
Increased the jail time for journalists who report on whistleblower’s truthful allegations by a factor of 10.

It's hard not to think it's not journalists who occupy the "Canberra Bubble" as much as politicians with smarty-pants lines but no sense of accountability, or even reality, writes Laura Tingle.www.abc.net.au
How it turn out? I would be worried about groups external to the parties influencing the campaigns and how hard it would be for independents to compete. I do like anything that reduces the influence of donors and would require parties to pay attention to safe seats.

Independents owned it. They door knocked, and got vouchers more readily than the majors who sat on their arse waiting for mail ins.
Big lesson is that rewards grass roots campaigning

Private contractors should not be involved in bio hazard prevention/containment measures. Private companies are there to make profits and rightly so.
Quarantine and Inspection Service, like Border Security and Immigration and Customs, are a Federal Government responsibility. Right from the start and at every step along the way, Morrison and his inept ministers have failed spectacularly and instead of the Murdoch/Costello/Stokes media conglomerates reporting Morrison's abrogation of his and the Federal Government's responsibilities, they have sought to look for any and every "angle" to take the heat off Morrison and his bunch of buffoons.
The Victorian Government, just like every other State Government, does not have the resources, the facilities nor the trained personel to undertake bio-hazard containment and prevention matters; they certainly do not have the facilities, resources nor the trained personnel to run large scale, hazardous quarantine operations. Medi -hotels are completely ridiculous and completely inappropriate. Where do people think that Covid escaped from? It didn't just miraculously appear! It escaped from the profoundly idiotic Medi-hotels set up and the only ones that have benefited, have been private contractors.
These types of operations are not about making money, they are a public health and safety issue and have nothing to do with making profits.
What is required is management & failures are not limited to private enterprise.

Hang on.
You said this:
... when someone pointed out Liberal party corruption, but when someone responds with 'I agree', you ask them what they have other than allegations.
Is your position a) that corruption is endemic in Australian politics, or b) that they're all innocent until the allegation is demonstrated?
You cannot wave the 'Both sides' flag whilst also waving the 'Innocent until proven guilty' flags. They get in each other's way.
I can, & will, do whatever reflects my opinion. I do know the difference between an allegation & corruption proven.
You're the most partisan person on this board. It's hilarious watching you try to convince people otherwise.

You're full of s**t.
Either corruption is endemic in politics, or they're all innocent until allegations hold up. You cannot pick and choose which argument you run with based upon what best allows you defend the Liberal party in the moment; the two arguments counter each other.
It's an either or proposition. Pick one.
Go back to sleep. There are some things that private firms do very well and make money because of it and there are some things which private firms should be kept well away from and they are processes which are of national strategic importance. Quarantine and inspection services, bio-hazard prevention and containment, customs and immigration, border security.What is required is management & failures are not limited to private enterprise.

It has nothing to do with ideology but all to do with common sense. The only one freaking out because it impinges upon his ideology of nothing gets in the way of making a buck, is you.
Theres one party with a fully funded federal icac with teeth
One without.
Guess which is which…
& I support a Fed body ... maybe its not as simple as one side or the other.
We all know its the questions that swing votes are what count.
If you vote in the next election for:
Liberal and they win - no icac
Nationals and they win - no icac
Labor and they win - icac
Greens and they win - icac
Can-do capitalism: an explainer — The Shovel
It uses an advanced form of resource allocation known as ‘corruption’.
www.theshovel.com.au
An innovative new form of capitalism, known as ‘can-do capitalism’, works by providing large tax-payer funded government subsidies to industries that would otherwise not exist in an open market.
An economist who spoke to The Shovel said a recent example of the new economic system – a $600 million gas plant that nobody asked for – illustrates how can-do capitalism works. “An investor, in this case the government, determines where future demand will be highest. It then ignores that opportunity, and instead assigns funds to a different industry that is threatening to withdraw party donations. It’s just a different way of thinking about the word ‘demand’,” he said.
He said there were some other important differences when compared with the traditional system. “Unlike normal capitalism, which relies on market forces to determine the allocation of resources, can-do capitalism uses an advanced form of resource allocation known as ‘corruption’. The technique has been used to determine where key infrastructure – such as roads and sporting grounds – should be built”.
Another difference is the way prices are set. “Prices under this system can be higher, particularly if it’s for a parcel of land owned by the mate of a government minister”.
Can-do capitalism also has its own way of dealing with externalities, like greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of using a market-based system, such as a carbon price or trading scheme, it funds the polluters direct

Yes, is it a vote winner though, OR one of the many issues those voters who will decide the next poll will consider?
