Why are we introducing Australian Laws to stop election interference by
Foreign Governments, but not Laws to stop election interference by
Corporations who strongly influence election results home and abroad? "Gov's. are
Puppets of Corporations.

Someone has to donate to political parties cause I won't. Anyone who does has influence.
Including unions pheggie?
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Maybe their should be no political donations allowed at all and all parties funded by our taxes and the corporations actually pay their taxes
I dont know how viable such an idea would be but it would be worth giving a try at least.
I dont think we go quite as far as the US does in their campaigning by telephone and Radio/TV adverts but if donations are cut off, I dont think too many would complain they havent been called to support a political party.
Anyway, Phone Polls are useless because as no records are kept so those called could support every Political party who calls them and vote contrary to their 'promise'.
Being registered for Life on the Electoral Roles (unlike in the USA) stops the need for being called to enroll for any elections.

Pheggie, which did you back, VHS or Beta?
There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"
Like moist of us. we all voted Beta, because it was the better format. Didn't make much difference, even VHS didn't survive.......
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Politicians are human (or a version thereof) and some will ALWAYS be able to be influenced as some of their decisions are vital....
It's just a bribe with a 'wink, wink, say no more' attached to it......

In my view taxpayer's funds going to these parties is an abomination. Let's ban all political donations and all political advertising. Why should taxpayers fund propaganda and scare campaigns. Is there anyone here that can point to a political ad that actually contained any useful information whatsoever?
Labor would just work out some scam of funnelling money through the ABC.
The day politicians start campaigning or the real merits of why they are the best person for the job instead of just muck raking and trying to get ahead by putting shit on the other guy and trying to put them down instead of talking about what skills they can bring to the job, is the day I -may- take a little more interest in politics.
Other than that, I remain in the belief it's just a total con job the wealthy play on the average man in the street.
