This is a question for the Prime Minister. Today's US election reminds us how fragile democracy is. Australia is not immune to the mistrust that we see in the US. There is increasing suspicion that politicians are acting in the interests of airlines, fossil fuel or gambling companies, unions or a political party instead of all Australians. Voters deserve to know who is funding all political candidates before they vote. Will the government legislate real-time donation disclosure in time to make our next federal election transparent?
