Here's an idea for tax reform:

2. start making them pay their fair share of tax

You can help by adding your name to our petition to increase the PRRT: theaus.in/increasePRRT #auspol

Even as small donors flooded in, campaign finance inequality hit record highs in 2024. For the first time, the top 0.01% (1 in 10K voters) share exceeds 50% of $s. The top 400 donors now exceed 25%.
