Reason has fought hard to change laws at a state level to ensure a more open and transparent democracy. Sometimes we have even supported electoral laws that make it harder for us win a seat in Parliament such as political donations reform. We do it because it’s the right thing to do.

We need a Federal Independent Commission Against Corruption. We’ve been saying it for years. We need to completely reform Federal donation laws.

There’s is a reason that the major political parties don’t want one - they want to flout accountability. We will continue to be a loud voice in the fight to establish what would be an important national body.

Reason believes indigenous Australians should be at the forefront of the decision-making process of all government policy and be given the right to make these decisions themselves.
