The fix is in! (Electoral Reform Bill) - Gerard Rennick

The major party are bending the rules to suit themselves.

Last week the two major parties passed electoral laws to make it harder for minor parties to fund election campaigns.

While I’m not so worried about the big end of town being capped, smaller parties do not receive the same funding support that the major parties do.

This is because minor parties have to get 4% of the vote in each electorate to get the $3.38 per vote. Whereas major parties will always get 4%, minor parties don’t.

This means the majors received close to $70 million in taxpayer support at the last election. This money gives them an enormous advantage in being able to advertise.

Minor parties have to stump up $2,000 to the AEC to register a candidate for every electorate or $300,000 to run candidates across the country.

This makes it very difficult for minor parties to even register to run in the campaign let alone advertise or afford how to vote cards.

It’s not surprising the major parties have to bend the rules. The Australian people are turning away from them because have delivered no solutions to the Australian people.

In fact they are destroying this country as they have allowed high immigration, foreign investment and foreign influence to destroy Australia.



wow ... excellent short speech. Don't vote for the major parties in the upcoming Australian election. They're part of the problems we face and are offering no real solutions. Only the minor nationalist leaning parties have a good grip on the key economic issues. Dump the majors.
