In #SouthAustralia a new law limits private donations to parties to ZERO
We can't even hold a bake sale.
Only money parties receive is from the #AEC
There is an exclusions clause, if a party has no reps, it can receive donations, like Gina bankrolling #OneNotion

Just realised I'd 'accidentally' kept resubscribing to The Saturday Paper, despite not being able to afford it. So might as well make use of it, eh?
"Pauline Hanson is dangerous not because she remains a grotesque nativist from 1990s Queensland but rather because her rhetoric has been absorbed into the ordinary calculations of Australian politics. That is the real story, not the tedious recitation of the polling data.
"For three decades, she has converted racial grievance into durable electoral power. While the major parties have condemned the ugliest episodes, they have harvested the preferences and moved the centre to accommodate the sentiment. What was once treated as aberrant is now managed as part of the landscape. That accommodation is the failure."
The far right one is Pauline Hanson. #AusPol #OneNotion
(Edited to change "centre" to "far right" because ... well, obviously).

You know the saying about ten gallon hats...
Edit: in case you don't, there's not a lot of examples of the insult. Two variations:
"Mister, that's a ten gallon hat on a two pint head"
Or, from a scene in the TV series Justified:
"Mister, that's a ten gallon hat on a 20 gallon head."
Plus the usuals... "All hat..."
