What is the actual point of democracy if a corporate donation carries infinitely more value than your vote?

IF, as a voter, you expect politicians to prioritise issues most important to society, and not pander to the whims of corporate donors & and their seedy lobbyists, political donations MUST be limited in size and restricted to registered voters.
We, the voters, need to take back democracy

@australianlabor.bsky.social Govt, with enthusiastic support of LNP have done nothing to improve democracy.
ALL donations to parties should be restricted to registered voters only.

Max Blumenthal (Jew): “They didn’t. This war has been going on for 75 years. Israel initiated it in 1948 by ethnically cleansing 750,000 people.”

The idea that Labor recognising a Palestinian state was a major blow for Israel is laughable too. We joined 150 countries in a purely symbolic act that the Knesset has rejected for years.
We didn’t: stop sending arms; call for sanctions; try to enforce ICC ruling; insist on aid; call it genocide etc
