    the proposal to end all political donations. paying incumbent MPs and other contenders a fixed and equal rate to cover advertising etc.

    I don't know how it'll work, but they will allow independent candidates to fund-raise in order to ensure candidates aren't restricted to parties.

    "The proposed law would ban political parties and candidates (other than new entrants) from receiving political donations. Instead, they would be provided with public funding for both campaigning and party administration. Campaign spending by political parties and candidates would be capped during the period prior to a state election to keep the cost of public funding down."
