And if you want to add your voice to those already expressing their discontent at the government over its electoral donation changes that will entrench the two-party system even further, the Director of the Institute’s Democracy & Accountability Program Bill Browne has a way:

There are just days left in what may be the final sitting week before the federal election. It’s an extremely busy time in Parliament House, but here’s what you need to know:

The Government is trying to strike a deal with the Coalition to rush sweeping changes to Australia’s electoral laws though the Parliament, without proper scrutiny or accountability.

They’ve tried this once before. Late last year, the government wanted to pass these changes to the fundamental operation of our democracy with little scrutiny and no parliamentary inquiry. It was only public pressure that stopped it.

Now, they’re trying to do the same thing again.

Will you add your name to our petition so that, together, we can stand up to protect Australian elections?
