Money is involved in electioneering. A lot of money! Political parties and organisations raise funds - they depend on donations. The Transparency register provides raw data, such as: $10,108,548 electoral expenditure by Advance Australia. That body received $13,459,036. The data is published by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). Here is a QR code to the page. I think it was created by Chrome - just came up as an option. (It worked OK as a test on my computer with my phone.) However, the direct AEC website has a lot more data and many options. https://transparency.aec.gov.au/ Entities involved in elections are required by law to furnish the information to the AEC. In my case there are no monies involved at all. Nil. I suppose I could put a price on my time (?) and device and ISP use(?). However, I do not see myself as a "significant third party". I do not seek to influence votes. Yours sincerely Allen Hampton Coburg achamptonmob@gmail.com
