NSW Election Funding Bill

Outrageous.

It means that, in addition to the expenditure cap that will apply to political parties, each of the 22 unions affiliated with Unions NSW will be allowed to spend $1.05 million during the next election campaign, effectively a cap of $23 million, plus what Labor itself can spend. With each political party's election expenditure capped at $9.3 million, and the Liberals and the Nationals classified as one party under the legislation, it means the Coalition can spend $9.3 million and the ALP/unions can spend $32.3 million.
