South Australia has an idea: SA’s world leading political donations ban now in force (July 2025)

Definitely unrelated: the Liberal vote has dropped so far in SA that some pollsters are posting Labor vs One Nation two-party-preferred numbers.

Yeah curious to see how this pans out, because I’m for publically funded elections! It doesn’t eliminate the influence of lobby groups and scratching of backs, but it’s certainly headed on the right direction.

The cynic in me doesn’t believe the Labor party would have done it entirely out of the goodness of their hearts though, so am cautious optimistic.
