Strongly agree

Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

The ALP has shown support for reforming political donation laws, including the introduction of caps on donations and increased transparency. This suggests a strong agreement with the idea of limiting the amount organizations can donate to reduce the influence of money in politics, while still allowing for some level of financial support from these entities.

Agree

No, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

Given the ALP's historical and ongoing support from unions, it is likely to favor a system that allows donations from unions and non-profits, which are seen as representing workers' interests and social causes, over corporations. This aligns with the party's broader labor and social justice-oriented ideology.

Agree

No, and political campaigns should be publicly funded

The ALP has expressed interest in political donation reform and reducing the influence of money in politics, which aligns with the idea of publicly funded political campaigns. However, the party has not fully committed to this model over others, suggesting support but with some reservations or conditions.

Agree

No, these types of donations just turn into bribes

The ALP's advocacy for political donation reform reflects a concern about the potential for donations to influence political decisions, akin to bribery. However, the party's acceptance of donations, particularly from unions, indicates a belief that not all such donations are inherently corrupt, leading to a moderate score.

Slightly agree

No

While the ALP has not explicitly advocated for banning all donations from corporations, unions, and non-profit organizations, its interest in political donation reform indicates a recognition of the potential problems associated with such donations. However, its close ties with unions make a complete ban unlikely.

Disagree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has historically accepted donations from unions, which are a key part of its support base, but has also shown interest in reforming political donation laws to increase transparency and reduce corruption risks. This suggests a nuanced stance that does not fully support unrestricted donations from all types of organizations.
