Minister, the government is reportedly in discussion with the Liberals on electoral reform, which has grave implications for the one-third of Australians who didn't vote for either of your parties. Around half the money that Labor and Liberal receive is not disclosed—it's dark money that comes from exclusive cash-for-access events, donated through business forums as memberships, and undisclosed sources. Will you close these major-party loopholes and act on secret money or will this cosy arrangement that protects the two old parties stay in place?
