      Who really holds the power in Australian elections?

      The government is promising greater transparency with its proposed electoral reforms, but will these changes deliver on their promise?

      Join us as we dig into the controversial aspects of the proposed reforms, including the introduction of "nominated entities," the lack of truth in political advertising laws, and the concerns about a rushed legislative process.

      We'll examine whether these reforms will truly enhance transparency and accountability, or whether they'll create new avenues for hidden influence and manipulation.

    • Oz Election Overhaul: Fairness or Farce?
    • Australia's electoral system is undergoing a major shake-up. The government is pushing through reforms aimed at curbing the influence of "big money" in politics.

Join us as we unpack the proposed changes, explore the potential consequences for Australian democracy, and examine whether these reforms will truly lead to a fairer and more representative system. We'll hear from experts, politicians, and everyday Australians about what's at stake and how we can ensure a level playing field for all.
