Political donations rule overhaul still leaves Tasmania with 'the weakest laws' in the country, critics say

Greens leader Cassy O'Connor said there was nothing in the legislation that would change how donations were made by the gambling industry in 2018, and she would move amendments in parliament to try and strengthen it.

Ms O'Connor said some measures, such as public funding for House of Assembly elections, were welcome improvements. "The threshold for donations disclosure at $5,000 is too high, it simply does not pass the common sense test."Deputy Premier Michael Ferguson said the government believed the $5,000 threshold was appropriate for Tasmania.

Campaign expenditure caps of $30,000 for individual candidates and $750,000 for parties running in House of Assembly elections had been recommended by the University of Tasmania's Institute for Social Change.

So now bribes,sorry donations will be given in lots of five thousand at a time so they can still exploit this sad and sorry situation,perhaps someone could give TIC some teeth and stop being a lap dog to these political parasites.
