Bypass the Algorithm, Sign up to the Punter Times Newsletter  https://www.punterspolitics.com/pages/email-sign-up This week, we pull back the curtain on Canberra’s favourite game: cash-for-access.When political parties sell $15,000 dinners to billionaires, the punters decided to play along.We threw our own political fundraiser — real sponsors, real politicians, real access — and raised $75,000 to hire Australia’s first lobbyist for the people.But while the pollies showed up, the corporate media didn’t. Not one major outlet covered it.So we’ll show you what really happened, what it proved about our democracy, and what comes next for the Punters Lobbyist.
