Thread: What does the re-election of @WillHodgman Tas Liberal government mean for the prospect of the basic anti-#corruption reform of requiring disclosure of political donations? #tasvotes #politas #tasvotes2018
2) In the campaign Hodgman said the current federal laws are adequate. In short, only donations over $13,500 this year will have to be disclosed, increasing in in following years in line with CPI #tasvotes #politas #tasvotes201
3) Here’s an earlier thread of mine on the origins and problems with the current federal political donations laws #tasvotes #politas #tasvotes2018
Thread: there has been lots of recent discussion over the lack of transparency of political donations & #darkmoney in the Tasmanian election – Tasmania has no political donations law so the only disclosure is as a result of the weak national legislation #tasvotes #politas #auspol
2) Under federal electoral law in 2017/18 only donations to political parties over $13,500 have to be disclosed – but they won’t be made public by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) until Feb 2019, well after the current state election #tasvotes #politas #darkmoney
3) Enforcement of political donations is the responsibility of the AEC. If you if don’t vote at a federal or state election, you are fined … but failure to disclose political donations goes unpunished #tasvotes #politas #darkmoney tasmaniantimes.com/index.php/arti…
