Picture includes a continuous sketched line that forms four people. The people are looking at a whiteboard, and one of the people is made to look like they have written 'Data sources' on the whiteboard. The sketched line continues into a second part of the image, which is of a computer screen with a mug and computer mouse on either side. On the computer screen, there is a logo of yellow arches, the title 'Privilege Report 2025', a graph, and some lines meant to look like unreadable writing.

Neat piece from Jenn Lacy-Nichols about the problems with political donations in Australia, and how the system undermines #publichealth.
aunz.theconversation.com The Conversation AUNZ @aunz.theconversation.com · Mar 2
When it comes to political donations from alcohol and gambling companies, the Australian public is often in the dark, research shows, despite recent reforms.
Alcohol and gambling firms donate to political parties multiple times. And new rules won’t stop them
