Clean up democracy

I heard that the Lake Macquarie Local Govt committee of the Labor party have adopted Greens policy and will ban the acceptance of developer donations!

Well done!

I hope that they will also not accept developer donations channelled through the numerous "front" organisations like the Canberra Labor Club Ltd, John Curtin House Ltd, The Chifley Research Centre Ltd, Emily's List Australia or the various State and Federal branches.

If only Sydney Labor listened to the locals.

You may see also on this site that I've called on the candidates for the State seat of Newcastle to pledge that would not accept developer donations, either directly or indirectly. See No developer donations pledge.
