  You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never
  understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for
  me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and
  integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves?
  
  
  In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties look set to
  come together to support.
  
  The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent the equivalent of an arms
  race, and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election - actually less than the major parties currently spend.
  
  
  The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds for donations, thus increasing the transparency of
  who makes political donations in the first place.
  
  
  So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their cash to influence
  election outcomes - and the extent to which they can use their wealth at all will be limited.
  
  
  The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed and frequency that disclosures of donations need to be made.
  
  
  At present we have the absurd situation in which donations get made - but you only find out the
  details of who has given what to whom many months later,
  well after elections are won and lost.
  
  In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and far less big money being injected into campaigning
  by the wealthy.
  
  
  
  
  Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were 'running scared' with the policy and warned the reform would 'not stop the rot' 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot - saying if it serves only the major parties 'it's a rort, not reform'. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock
  (right) said: 'What seems to be happening is a major-party
  stitch-up'
  
  Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current rules,
  will need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate will be capped.
  
  
  
  Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling
  them a 'stitch-up', 'outrageous' and 'a rort, not a reform'. 
  
  They have lost their collective minds after finding out that
  Labor's proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.
  
  I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before
  even starting to write this column.
  
  Because I had assumed - incorrectly - that these important transparency measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must
  have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort to
  drag the major parties closer to accountability.
  
  
  More fool me.
  
  The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put
  forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing cabal of crossbenchers.
  
  
  
  It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth protest too much on this issue.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political
  donors such as Clive Palmer
  
  
  
  
  
  Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder
  Simon Holmes à Court
  
  
  
  
  
  The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)
  
  The major parties have long complained about the influence the
  likes of Simon Holmes à Court wields behind the scenes
  amongst the Teals. 
  
  And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past,
  contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.
  
  
  Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of
  virtue are running a mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of political donations.
  
  
  
  The Labor government isn't even seeking for these transparency
  rules to take effect immediately, by the way.
  It won't be some sort of quick-paced power play before the next election designed to catch the crossbench
  out.
  
  They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough time to absorb and understand the changes before
  preparing for them.
  
  Don't get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and
  the Coalition. I imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with
  a fine tooth comb.
  
  As they should - because it certainly isn't beyond Labor to include hidden one-party advantages
  in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.
  
  
  But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the
  crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition,
  to what is being advocated for.
  
  They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could
  be incorporated in the package.
  
  To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard
  false commentary about being in politics to 'clean things up'.

  Currently it looks like Wordpress is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
  (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
