Questions without Notice: Donations to Political Parties (19 Nov 2024)

“According to polling released yesterday by the Australia Institute, 80 per cent of voters believe that electoral funding reform legislation should be scrutinised before passage.

Questions without Notice: Donations to Political Parties (19 Nov 2024)

“The second bill introduced yesterday is to legislate truth in political advertising.
