Voters have a right to know who is funding their candidates before they vote. The government has a longstanding commitment to real-time disclosure of political donations over $1,000, but this hasn't happened, because the government has indicated it wants opposition support on electoral reform. Time is running out to implement transparency before the next election. Why won't the government make good on its promise and pass this legislation immediately with crossbench support in both houses? We need transparency now.
