We should have an independent review of political party funding and communications

Governance

The recent UAP spam campaign and continued baulking of transparency of political donations by both major political parties, once again brings focus as to why we should trust our politicians to set the rules that they play by.

It is us, the public, who pay the costs of political governance, choose who is to govern, and are subject to the decisions made by politicians.

We deserve a high level of transparency, integrity and honesty in all that our political parties and politicians do…and should not have our personal phones invaded by political spam of questionable sources and quality.

What do you think?

Political parties should not have an exemption from the spam act. We need politicians with high standards, not low ones. These spamming calls can easily spread false information.
