Zali Steggall asks Treasurer if Electoral Reform plans are a poor use of public funds

21 November 2024

To The Treasurer. The government has fast tracked significant legislation that will pay the Labor Party, on current numbers, $2.7 million per year for administration funding assistance funding includes staff costs, attendance at conferences, seminars, office accommodation, even payment for interest of it's loans.

Do you accept that the government has failed to acknowledge any economies of scale, that this is poor economic management of public funds, and an outrageous slap in the face of Australians doing it tough?
