Voters have a right to know who is funding their political candidates. In the last 20 years, only 21 per cent of private funding to the major parties has been disclosed donations, 47 per cent is listed as undisclosed and 31 per cent is listed as other receipts, so about $4 out of every $5 of private political funding is dark money. In the upcoming electoral reform package, will the government get rid of dark money in politics?
