High-profile political donor and Climate 200 convenor Simon Holmes a Court has hurled lofty allegations at the major parties in response to attempts to crack down on excessive political donations.
Climate 200 convenor Simon Holmes a Court accuses major parties of attempting to 'rig' future elections
In response to Labor’s electoral reform bill, Mr Holmes a Court has accused Labor and the Coalition of working together to “rig” the electoral system in a post shared to his 120,000 followers on social media. Mr Farrell told SkyNews.com.au he “completely rejected” any suggestion the reform was part of a “stitch-up between the major parties”.
“We don't want an American-style electoral system. We want to protect and promote the Australian electoral system. This is all about transparency, it's all about accountability, and it's all about fairness.” “Anyone in the political sphere has a responsibility to uphold and respect the terms of our democratic system. Anyone who undermines our system in any way for the sake of political gain has no place in politics.”
