Charlie Caruso (@CharliCaruso)<\/a> interviews Kate Griffiths<\/a> (@_kgriffiths)<\/a> on political donations in Australia for the latest edition of the NoFibs<\/em><\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate Griffiths<\/a> is a researcher at the Grattan Institute<\/a>, who, along with some of her colleagues, published several articles on The Conversation<\/em><\/a> about political donation reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019s in the room? Access and influence in Australian politics<\/a><\/em> is the report by Danielle Wood<\/a> and Kate Griffiths<\/a> that uncovered how businesses with the most at stake in government decisions lobby harder and get more access to senior ministers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big loophole in the federal system at the moment is that the donation doesn’t need to be disclosed unless it exceeds the threshold of $13,800 dollars, but multiple donations under that threshold don’t have to be declared by the party, so the party could receive multiple donations of $10,000 from the same donor, and that doesn’t need to be declared because they’re not required to aggregate donations.<\/p>Kate Griffiths

How are political parties using loopholes to hide political donations? How are political donations influencing policy outcomes in Australia? Would 100 per cent publicly-funded political campaigns even be viable? Charlie Caruso and Kate Griffiths explore some inconvenient truths about political donations in Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
