#Victorian #Greens criticise failure to introduce donation reforms.

The #VictorianGreens leader, #EllenSandell, has criticised the state government for failing to introduce donation reforms to parliament this week.

Speaking outside parliament, she told reporters #theGreens have heard “very little” from the government in the last few days after weeks of negotiations. Sandell went on:

“I do not know what is holding #Labor back. I can only conclude that Labor is not interested in stopping dark money flowing into politics, and want to keep a whole bunch of #corporate and #billionaire #donors for themselves, because the Greens we have an open door, and we’ve said, come and talk to us and we would be happy to talk about laws that actually stop this dark money flowing into Victorian politics.”

While the major parties are mulling increasing the donation cap, she said it shouldn’t be increased:

“We think that the donation cap, which is just under $5,000, is fine where it is. That allows people to make a small donation but it does not allow corporations and billionaires to donate tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to influence our politics.”

Sandell said there was a “pathway” to pass reforms via the Greens and the crossbench:

“We are happy to move very quickly if they bring #legislation that closes these dodgy #loopholes and puts a cap on #politicaldonations, we’re happy to do that, and I don’t understand why they haven’t brought that legislation this week or last week.” #auspol

lol. #TheGreens emailed me complaining about #PoliticalDonations in #Victoria, then asked me for money. #auspol
