really worth reading the details, understand just how corrupt our government is
The previous Liberal government to be clear, along with senior public servants associated with said government.
there is no functional difference between the LNP and the ALP; both major parties simply employ different flavours of window dressing on their corporate stoogery
Ever wonder why unfathomably cruel policy passed under the LNP never faces repeal? Or why the 'woke commie progressive' economic policy of the ALP protects the same interests as the LNP while tossing paltry 3-5 million conditional grants to token 12 month 'social welfare' dog-whistles?
If you honestly believe we have any integrity outside of the non-dark money parties, you're a fool.
for context, all corporate donations in Australia are dark money, our regulation and enforcement with regards to corruption is basically nonexistent; Australian politics makes the CCP look like a democratic ethics convention.
EDIT: let's see if the ALP has it's aspiring media whore brigade on Lemmy already. ETA: lol, yes
I'm not a fan of Labor, I vote Green, but there are still considerable differences between the LNP and Labor. Those differences might have narrowed in recent times, but they still matter.
Don't even have to look far to see them, I mean this royal commission was a prime example of that difference.
Lab aren't the holy grail, but saying Lab and the Libs are the same is absolutely moronic. How anyone can claim that after the past decade of Libs vs just over 1 year of Labor is beyond me.
