We live in a time and a world that is growing in complexity, with multiple challenges such as COVID-19, climate change, and the undermining of our rules-based system. It is critical that we as parliamentarians do all that we can to support trust and confidence in our political system. Opposition speakers have tried to downplay the views of the public and the results of a Victoria University study—which to me is quite bizarre: that Opposition members would seek to undermine one of our upstanding universities. Victoria University found that 70 percent of respondents indicated they did not have a reasonable amount of trust in party funding. Some Opposition speakers have suggested that neither $15,000 nor $5,000 is a large sum of money so it shouldn't matter where the line is set. Well, for the people I meet, $5,000 is a very large sum of money. In the Government's view, the public have a right to know who is funding our political parties, because it is about transparency.
