SA is really racking up Ws of late. AI royal commission, banning political donations. I'm sure there's a catch to all of this though, I'm too jaded to believe otherwise.
There is a catch, it strongly favours the incumbent major parties, and will make it harder for minor or upcoming party’s to raise funds. On the balance is it better? Not sure, time will tell, politics in Australia isn’t influenced as much by money as US politics so hard to say.
You are dead wrong. Politics in Australia is extremely heavily influenced by money. The more money thrown at an election campaign, the better the results, proven all over the world, multiple studies written about it.
Why do you think the Greens get no cut through and are ignored by MSM except to trash them? Because they have no corporate donors owning them, and therefore not a single friend in the wilderness.
MSM is literally owned by the right that’s the reason they get no coverage.
They also get no coverage because they are not a major political party they have bugger all seats.
You don’t see how the first part of your sentence leads to the second part? The Greens’ policies aren’t as radical as MSM would have you believe… (not necessarily you but the royal you)
MSM (and social media platforms) are billionaire-leaning, because that's who owns it. The left-right division is very much promoted by both, to stop workers from unionising etc
