Big spending: the politics of Australian electoral reform

Paul Karp, the chief political correspondent for Guardian Australia, dives into the heated debate over proposed electoral reforms aimed at limiting the influence of wealthy donors in federal politics. He discusses accusations that Labor and the Coalition are orchestrating a ‘secret deal’ on new electoral rules. Karp examines how these changes might impact minor parties and electoral diversity, as well as the ongoing negotiations that could reshape Australia’s political landscape. The conversation also touches on the potential legal hurdles these reforms may face.
