The factsheet identifies six key reforms to redress the unfairness created by the Commonwealth’s new political finance laws, and make real progress on combatting the influence of vested interests on the exercise of public power.

Reforms

1. Aggregation of donations for the purposes of both the gift cap and disclosure.
2. Spending caps: lower national cap, higher per seat cap and 'anti-piling in provision'.
3. Establish an independent, technical review process.
4. Abolition of the special treatment of nominated entities.
5. Requirement that all cash-for-access and corporate donations be disclosed, regardless of size.
6. Ensure charities can continue to have a voice in election debates by having fit-for-purpose rules and regulation, instead of treating them like political parties.
