My question is to the Special Minister of State, Minister Farrell. Prime Minister Albanese made big promises about transparency and accountability before coming into government, but we have been waiting over two years and, despite what Labor keeps telling the media, we are yet to see any electoral reform legislation from this government. The Greens have been calling for changes to our donation laws for decades, and in this parliament Labor has a crossbench ready to progress genuine electoral reform. Minister, will you keep your election commitment to improve our democracy, or will you instead stitch up a deal with the LNP to benefit the flagging two-party system?
