Ban Political Donations: start with liquor and gambling

Here is an interesting debate on political donations.*

However, it is not just the panel

who makes interesting comments.

Listen for statements/questions from

John Cane, former Victorian Premier

and

Peter Kavanagh,

the lone DLP member of Parliament in Australia.

Miss Eagle's view is that

those who are influenced

and

those who can and hope to influence

live in denial

or, more bluntly,

cloud-cuckoo land.

Disclosure is not enough.

Perhaps if names went on billboards

in relation to what is being influenced.

Otherwise, no.

Money for influence is not new.

Money for influence has not gone away.

John Cane fingers the liquor and gambling interests.

So, citizens, want safety on Melbourne's streets?

Get liquor and gambling interests

off the political donors & lobbyists roll.

even though he had to wake me from a Sunday nap
