“The current donation system allows the mega-rich to traffic in influence at the highest levels,
especially if they're a storied member of the Australian business community,” Bernard Keane wrote this week.
In response to the revelations about Anthony Pratt's ascendance into Donald Trump's inner circle,
Keane reflected on the situation closer to home — Australia's “two-speed democracy”,
in which donors get privileged access to decision-makers while the rest of us make do with a vote every three years and sending letters to MPs.
Elsewhere in Crikey this week Media Briefs returned,
News Corp changed tactics on the Voice,
and Australian companies dodged accountability over data breaches.
And as the bombardment in Gaza continues we brought you a range of perspectives — from a rabbi to an international law expert — on the response to the ongoing situation.
We hope you're having a relaxing weekend. |
