The passage of the Electoral Further Amendment Bill 2026 represents a shameful attempt by Labor to rig the system in their own favour.

These dodgy new laws shut off money from Labor’s political opponents whilst continuing the rivers of gold from the CFMEU and the unions to the Labor Party.

The Allan Labor Government is end of days and have done a deal with the crossbench to benefit themselves as they desperately try to cling to power.

The Liberals and Nationals do not support these rigged laws and are considering our legal position.
