Crossbench politicians are pushing for greater transparency in political donations, and truth in political advertising, ahead of the next federal election. The Fair and Transparent Elections Bill aims to increase transparency and level the playing field for elections.


Crossbench politicians are calling for changes to the electoral system ahead, to be legislated in time for the next federal election.

The Greens have teamed up with 14 independent politicians on the Fair and Transparent Elections Bill. 

The goal is to increase transparency, ban lies in political advertising, and reduce financial influence, and limit political donations.
