The NACC needs to have independent authorisation to audit Political Party financial records.

Imagine if the NACC could 'follow the money'.

And they could use an AI to do so!
(Sign me up to build it)

Of course, Labor would never allow such political transparency.

Wonder why?

Several of One Nation's leaders have expressly said they will ban all abortion for all girls & women, then 'clarified' they meant just the ones they decide should be forced to give birth. Believe them first. Believe them when they're not spinning. A One Nation vote is a vote for forced birth.

PLEASE now can we do something, anything, to withdraw Australian support for the ongoing, & soon to get worse, genocide in Gaza?

FFS I hate being a citizen in a country complicit in genocide.

Yes, what his happening in Gaza is "An Israeli Genocide."

But it is more accurately described as "An American-Sponsored Genocide."

As with all things, follow the money.
