Not appropriate use of taxes
That’s it for labor then lol
...and stamp out not companies paying Tax.
That’s like AlCapone saying he’s going to stop bootlegging!
Slippery Shorten 😂
Give people tax cuts and wage increases, then cut out big donors so taxpayers pay more, that should balance the books
Need to put in safeguards to allow smaller parties to get a fair go
While they're at it, ban corporate lobbys from election advertising. auspol
Great idea. It is the only way to stop the wealthy buying governments to the determent of every day Australians, like has been happening with the very much failed federal LNP government.
Will that include their GetUp buddies?
Any reform might prevent direct donations from unions to AustralianLabor won't prevent them running their own campaigns to support them indirectly with unlimited funds. The corporate world will be shy to do the same thing for the Libs, so this will cripple all other parties.
Big donors stamped out?.........Bill's corrupt Union cronies in that equation?
Including Unions billshortenmp
GETUP are Labour to the core & get huge donations from George Soros. Will you declare that as a Labour Party donation? billshortenmp
As long as these are policed by an agency with teeth, and we get a proper Federal ICAC, then I'm happy to contribute more in order to reduce the corrupting influence of big political donors.

Labor splashes the cash on swimming lessonsBill Shorten has committed a future federal Labor government to ensuring swimming lessons are delivered to all primary school children. We have that now, difference being, parents pay for it now, instead of all of us paying more for it under labor. Those of us that have paid for it already don't wish to pay inflated rates for someone elses kids on top of that!! Free advertisement for the Labor party?

Why is Shorten covering up for States failures on swimming responsibility. AustralianLabor billshortenmp It’s the tourists who drown. A lot of Indian men who don’t know how to swim. Maybe an ad on aeroplanes informing foreign visitors to be aware and safe around water would help.

Powerhouse Museum to stay in Ultimo under LaborThe $550 million policy will be funded by 'not moving the Powerhouse' if Labor wins the March election, State Opposition leader Michael Daley said on Sunday.

Labor splashes out on swimming lessons - 9NewsAll primary school children would have access to swimming lessons under a future Labor government, in response to a spate of summer drownings. 9News Haha so what about schools that are hundreds of km to the nearest pool? We had mandatory swimming lessons as kids through primary school every week was fantastic. It should be part of the curriculum We had mandatory swimming lessons at school when I was a kid in the 80s. There is nothing I hated more at school, not even corporal punishment.
