I haven't seen any comment on here about the legislation passed in the NSW parliament last week regarding political donations. I know this is Bronwyn Bishop I am quoting but take a step back from shooting the messenger and just think about what she is actually saying. Along with internet censorship, NBN and threats to TV stations is anyone else worried about the direction Labour is taking? It seems to be going down a rather worrying path to totalitarianism.
Any thoughts?

NSW Labor, long the recipient of donations for decisions suddenly thinks only 3rd parties should be allowed to spend large amounts of money on election campaigns, but under their scheme unions as well as left wing fellow travellers such as Get Up are deemed to be 3rd parties.
Under NSW Labor it means allowing your union affiliates to spend $1 million dollars each, including $20,000 in each electorate to influence voters.
NSW has 22 affiliated unions, so there’s a war chest of over $22 million for Labor for starters plus all the ‘help’ we now have documented as coming from Get Up.
Any thoughts?
