I don't post about politics, but this feels like a good step that transcends party politics, that I hope others take notice of:
"SA parliament has passed "world-leading" legislation banning most political donations.
"This reform is not in my government's immediate political interests. But it is the right thing to do," said Premier Peter Malinauskas.
The changes mean politicians, candidates and political parties can no longer accept financial donations, and caps party spending on election campaigns.
Third party groups — like unions and industry bodies — will also be limited to spending no more than $450,000 on a campaign."
