  Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and integrity
  is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves?
  
  
  In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against
  proposed electoral reforms that the major parties look set to come
  together to support.
  
  The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the
  amount candidates can spend in individual electorates
  to prevent the equivalent of an arms race, and a $90million limit on what any
  party can spend at an election - actually less than the major parties currently spend.
  
  
  
  The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds
  for donations, thus increasing the transparency of who makes political donations in the first place.
  
  
  So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind
  anonymity while using their cash to influence election outcomes - and the extent to which
  they can use their wealth at all will be limited.
  
  
  The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed and frequency that disclosures of donations need to be made.
  
  
  At present we have the absurd situation in which donations get made - but you only find out the details of who
  has given what to whom many months later, well after elections are won and lost.
  
  
  In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and far less big money being
  injected into campaigning by the wealthy.
  
  
  
  
  Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were 'running scared'
  with the policy and warned the reform would 'not stop the
  rot' 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot - saying if it
  serves only the major parties 'it's a rort, not reform'. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock (right) said: 'What seems to be happening is a major-party
  stitch-up'
  
  Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current rules, will
  need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate will be capped.
  
  
  
  Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed
  new laws, labeling them a 'stitch-up', 'outrageous'
  and 'a rort, not a reform'. 
  
  They have lost their collective minds after finding out
  that Labor's proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.
  
  I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before even starting
  to write this column.
  
  Because I had assumed - incorrectly - that these important transparency measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed
  by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort
  to drag the major parties closer to accountability.
  
  
  More fool me.
  
  The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put forward by Labor and is opposed
  by a growing cabal of crossbenchers.
  
  It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply,
  the Greens and Teals doth protest too much on this issue.
  
  
  
  
  
  Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as Clive Palmer
  
  
  
  
  
  Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes à Court
  
  
  
  
  
  The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to
  tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt and
  Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)
  
  The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes
  à Court wields behind the scenes amongst the Teals. 
  
  And we know the Greens have taken massive
  donations from the wealthy in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.
  
  
  Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a mile from reforms that will
  curtail dark art of political donations.
  
  The Labor government isn't even seeking for these transparency rules to take effect immediately, by the way.
  It won't be some sort of quick-paced power play before the next election designed
  to catch the crossbench out.
  
  They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone
  enough time to absorb and understand the changes before preparing for them.
  
  
  Don't get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the Coalition. I imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with a fine tooth comb.
  
  
  As they should - because it certainly isn't beyond
  Labor to include hidden one-party advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable
  of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.
  
  
  But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer
  their support, not cynical opposition, to what is being advocated for.
  
  
  They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could be incorporated
  in the package.
  
  To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard
  false commentary about being in politics to 'clean things up'.

  Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super
  long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
  I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing.
  Do you have any recommendations for rookie blog writers?
  I'd genuinely appreciate it.
