Greens Democracy4Sale Website Turns 6 Years Old

Ever wondered why property developers have so much power or why big business gets the ear of government while community groups can struggle to get a foot in the door? Democracy4sale lets you keep up with the latest news, events, ideas and gossip about the political donations scene in Australia.

From boozy fundraising lunches to sleazy backroom deals, you can find it all here. Most of the news comes from NSW or Federal politics but we welcome news from other states.

Big corporate donors are buying access to our politicians that ordinary people cannot afford. 

The Democracy4sale donations database allows you to search for donations using our donor industry categories. See first hand the corrupting influence that donations from different industry sectors are having on our governments. 

The Greens are pursuing tighter donations disclosure laws. We're also calling for the major parties to disclose their donations immediately so that we don't have to wait for over a year to find out who the big donors are. Rapid disclosure would restore the balance in the public's favour by revealing how and when these cash inducements are being used to distort our democracy.
