South Australia is proposing to ban political donations from state elections.
A singular South Australian proposal to ban donations from state elections risks possibly being consigned to oblivion by a High Court challenge.
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has announced a blanket ban on political donations for parties, MPs and candidates.Now he is the state’s premier, and on Wednesday Malinauskas made good on his promise and introduced legislation to ban electoral donations and gifts to registered political parties, members of parliament and candidates. Instead, the state will provide funding to allow parties and candidates to contest elections, run campaigns and promote political ideas.
NSW Premier Chris Minns, for one, will not be following suit. “We’re not pursuing these changes. We’re open to changes that strengthen reforms we’ve already made around political donations, but a blanket ban is not on our agenda,” Minns said.
