A Fair Democracy for Australia

It's time the Australian government and parliament worked for people- not for party politics, power or personal privilege. 

Getting Big Money Out of Politics

Democracy should not be dominated by wealthy donors or vested interests.

We call for:

• Caps on political donations and election spending
• Real-time public disclosure of political donations
• Bans on donations from industries with major conflicts of interest
• Stronger transparency around fundraising and third-party campaigning
• Public funding reforms that reduce dependence on big donors

Every Australian should have an equal voice — regardless of wealth or influence.

Regulating Lobbying and Political Influence

Australians deserve to know who is influencing political decisions and whose interests are being represented.

We call for:

• A stronger and enforceable lobbyist register
• Full transparency around meetings between lobbyists and decision-makers
• Public Ministerial diaries
• Strong “cooling off” periods preventing politicians and senior staff from moving directly into lobbying roles
• Clear rules preventing conflicts of interest and undue influence

Government decisions must serve the public — not private interests.

Tackling Disinformation and Protecting Public Debate

Healthy democracies depend on truthful information and informed public discussion.

We call for:

• Stronger transparency rules for political advertising
• Clear labelling of AI-generated and misleading political content
• Greater accountability for online platforms spreading harmful disinformation
• Investment in public interest journalism and media diversity
• Education programs that strengthen media literacy and critical thinking

Australians deserve access to accurate information so they can make informed decisions about their future.

Strengthening Integrity and Accountability

Trust in democracy depends on strong standards and independent oversight.

We call for:

• Strong national anti-corruption protections
• Better whistleblower protections
• Binding codes of conduct for politicians
• Independent oversight bodies with real powers and transparency
• Greater public access to government information and decision-making

Democracy works best when governments are open, accountable and answerable to the people.

A Democracy That Works for Everyone

Australia’s democracy belongs to all of us.

Together, we can build a political system that is fairer, more transparent and focused on improving people’s lives — not protecting power and privilege.

Add your name to support a fair democracy that works for people, communities and future generations.
