"If this stands, then it means that all MP's in federal parliament can hide their sources of income from scrutiny by hiding behind such "blind trusts" "
The problem that emerged was the way that the ALP and the ABC have played tag. viz
ABC slanders and forces an expensive court case
ALP demands that the slandered can't raise public funds
Slandered is forced to drop the case or face bankruptcy for having been slandered
Surely this would end up with the green/ALP/ABC cleaning out the entire LNP.
The LNP are incredibly weak for not splitting the ABC into an objective ABC and leaving the ALPABC to spend all day looking in their mirrors.
