Yet my understanding is the ALP can still accept money from the Unions?

Think SA is not allowing any donations & parties will get a payment per vote at the last election & new candidate gets a set amount to compete.

Haven't seen the final proposal though.

It's tracking the right direction.
 
Oh dear, the bloke from Kentucky has opinion and he is expressing it which is the First Amendment of the Constitution.

And he is right on point, but some on here just can’t ever see it beyond their bias.

Think we on here have accepted result and think everyone in US (as opposed to 2020 election) and we don’t necessarily like it but we don’t ever stop anyone giving a point of view.

I mean how many years, did one poster go on about Dan Andrews even though he won his 2018 and 2022 elections convincingly.

Yeah it's a bit rich to be playing "the people have spoken" card when he was crying non stop about his mate Dan Andrews continually being voted back in.

Despite all the hyperbole from Sky News and his postie, Dan Andrews ended up being Victoria's 4th longest serving Premier so clearly the Victorian voters spoke loud and clear.

Interestingly Australia is looking to remove/limit political donations both state & federally... whilst the USA political parties spend crazy money from political donations.

I'm all for wiping out political donations as less likely political parties will feel the need to repay favours.

Australia wont remove party donations. Its an empty statement designed to make it look like the government at the time at least tried. Its no different to tax reform. No party will ever remove anything they directly benefit from.

Anyone who thinks political donations arent designed to buy policy is kidding themselves. Always has and always will. Hell the whole LNP and Republican party are conservative because the Church pays them to be.

The headline says ban donations, but gather more accurate is limiting donations, including union contributions Bicks

Any legislation limiting or renoving political donations is a step in the right direction imo.

World first political donation ban passes Parliament

Well given Trump had a hit list of people that may or may not have done anything wrong don’t see any problem with it.

I mean it isn’t as if they attempted to create chaos at the House of Democracy on Jan 6th of which Trump is willing to pardon (not that matters when it comes to conspiracy theorists).

This sums things up pretty well

Why the French government has collapsed and what happens next​

France has been plunged into political turmoil following the ouster of its prime minister. Could President Emmanuel Macron

France is no stranger to revolution, and it’s just had another with the toppling of Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
Here’s what we know, and what happens next?

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE FRENCH PM?​

The National Assembly lower house moved a motion of no-confidence in Michel Barnier, who has been Prime Minister of a minority government since September.
His ouster makes him the shortest occupant of the Prime Ministership since the modern era of French politics, known as the Fifth Republic, began in 1958.
The motion was pushed by left wing members of the Assembly in opposition to a severe budget Mr Barnier was trying to push through. The motion was supported by 331 members, thanks to crucial backing from Marine Le Pen’s far right.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR EMMANUEL MACRON?​

Members of the far left have called on French President Emmanuel Macron to resign, even though his term is not due to end until 2027.

Mr Macron is expected to give a televised address to the nation on Thursday night local time.

The crisis comes at a time when the President might have expected to ride a wave of popularity, playing host to world dignitaries on Saturday at the official reopening of Paris’s Notre-Dame cathedral after its billion-dollar restoration.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR FRANCE?​

The political turmoil has been predicted to create chaos and a plunge on the stockmarket. Unions have called on workers to strike on Thursday over budget cuts to services.

Before the no-confidence vote in Mr Barnier, the Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau warned such a move would prompt an immediate financial crisis.

“Don’t think that France is shielded,” he had warned.

An election cannot be called until July 2025 at the earliest.

“Until that point in time, the House will remain as it is; scattered, divided and unable to deliver a majority, meaning government instability is likely to be a key feature of the French political landscape over the next seven months,” Dr Fathi said.

The failure of the National Assembly to pass a 2025 budget will mean 2024 budgetary constraints will continue - an outcome that is likely to enrage farmers and retirees, he said.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shot dead in Midtown Manhattan, masked gunman at large

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot near a Midtown Manhattan hotel in a potentially targeted shooting early Wednesday, according to police.
abcnews.go.com abcnews.go.com

So this guy is the CEO of a healthcare fund that is well known for turning down claims

Thing is, no one apparently cares. Don't get me wrong, police are investigating but the average American is making jokes about it and the company he belongs to still held the meeting he was arriving at, even as he lay dead outside.

Its incredible really. I cant imagine being killed the publicly and no one really caring. images (2).png images (1).png images (28).jpeg

Well it's hard to sympathise with the company and people who work for it when their entire business model is to screw their clients on behalf of their shareholders. I of course feel sorry for their families but at the same time if you let your morals slip that far and get killed because you screwed over someone then it's hard to not think they brought it on themselves.
