LIAR LIAR MAJOR PARTIES ON FIRE: Liberal and Labor the unlawful lawmakers
from The Cheryl Lacey Show · host Cheryl Lacey
What happens when the two biggest parties in Australian politics decide to write the rules in their own favour - and get caught? Liberal and Labor strategised and passed donation laws that capped donations for independent's and minor parties at just $1,084 per year, while leaving themselves free to rake in unlimited funds. The High Court has now ruled those laws unconstitutional. They should never have existed in the first place. Just how far Labor and Liberal will go includes misleading narrative on the Nepean by-election.And why is there a by-election? Because an elected Liberal member refused to keep working in a toxic environment. If you thought democracy was supposed to protect you, think again.A Conversation with Greg CheesmanSupport the show
