Independent MPs Kate Chaney and Zali Steggall join Democracy Sausage to talk campaign finance reform and how it impacts your choice at the ballot box.


Will Labor’s election finance reform bill strengthen democracy or give major parties an unfair head start? What do the details of the bill look like? And what does this tell us about major parties and their willingness to adapt to the rise of the teals?

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Independent MPs Kate Chaney and Zali Steggall discuss Labor’s proposed reforms to campaign donations and spending caps.


Kate Chaney is the Independent Federal Member for Curtin.

Zali Steggall is the Independent Federal Member for Warringah.
