Yes, but donations must be limited and shown in real time, and not used for advertising - see my previous comment about an 'Electoral Statement Authority' and equality of funding for each candidate by govt.
In other words make the whole 'donations debate' irrelevant.

 @B9D5XVPLaboranswered…4mos4MO

Only union should be, as these are typically linked or just as much part of a party. It would be like saying that a party membership fee cannot be used.

 @B6G3KTWanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, but the amount they can donate should be limited, and all donations to a party or candidate should be made public.

 @B4B9G5Panswered…1yr1Y

In theory yes, if that is allowed by the organisation's constitution, but the parties themselves should refuse to accept that money.

 @B3L3225answered…1yr1Y

yes but with contracts in place to prevent alliances being formed or corruption and bribery, and not by any parties that have conflict of interest

 @OkLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but limit the ability of corporations to make political donations, and ban lobbyists from political donations

 @9PZRMRJanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but both the party and the donator must be transparent about the amount, frequency, and purpose.

 @9JFTYCQanswered…2yrs2Y

Abolish all political parties except one that represents my ideals of socialism and Australian Nationalism

 @8ZWGG93Greensanswered…4yrs4Y

Political party donations should be extremely limited and totally transparent, having to be declared within 1 month, no further benefit allowed in exchange for the donation and every party should only be allowed to spend an equal, fair amount on the election campaign, have equal opportunities to proclaim and promote their party program, instead of all the mud-slinging, badmouthing, scare campaigns, fear mongering and lies, not just a debate between 2 leaders.

 @8ZS2CSXReasonanswered…4yrs4Y

With limits and immediate publication, including all sources of funding not just "donations".

 @8ZRHLLPGreensanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but it should be announced, with election, who the funding bodies and key stakeholders are

 @8ZBQLNVLaboranswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but parties and companies have to declare every cent received and the parent company it came from. Also needs to have a cap.

 @8Z7998LLaboranswered…4yrs4Y

No, but allow capped donations from unions and non-profits (donation amounts are limited).

 @8X4K6ZTLiberal Democratanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8WR2RVRGreensanswered…5yrs5Y

Yes, if it is transparent and reported in real time, as well as the amount they can donate is limited.

 @8TSMMHPLiberal Democratanswered…5yrs5Y

No, you are spending money to enforce your will on someone, not to buy an object or service.

 @8TGMQYGLaboranswered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but political parties should advertise who donates to them in order to allow the public to be aware of any bias.

 @8SNVHMLanswered…5yrs5Y

It can turn I to bribes but anyone should be able to donate possible with a cap

 @8DWVVLYScienceanswered…6yrs6Y

 @92BYG6Zanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, But make sure that companies have to list thier names and amounts next to their donations on a govt monitored website that is publicly viewable and searchable

 @8TK2JKBLaboranswered…5yrs5Y

Yes, But must be publicly recorded, and all lobbyists who donate should be known who they affiliate with

 @96FVK5Janswered…4yrs4Y

No, but only for smaller independents/parties with absolute transparency

 @93GJJHJanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but making the donations into bribes are strictly prohibited and legally not allowed.

 @9345PBFanswered…4yrs4Y

 @92Z7Y9Qanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but they must be transparent so others can know what they're donating.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might a candidate winning due to huge financial backing make you feel about the future of democracy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What, in your opinion, would make political campaigns more accessible for candidates without wealthy connections?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever considered how campaign donations might affect the decisions of elected officials?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Should there be limits on how much individuals or companies can donate to political campaigns, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think public perception of a candidate changes based on where their campaign money comes from?

 @B4TRF89answered…1yr1Y

No!, Corporation's Like Big Business's, Company's, Government, & Union's!, Are Allowed To Donate To Political-Party's!, Only Constitution's Like Small Business's, Company's, Government, & Union's!, Are Allowed To Donate To Political-Party's!.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think money influences the fairness of elections in your country?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Should there be more transparency in who is funding political campaigns? Why or why not?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would knowing where a candidate’s money comes from influence your decision to vote for them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If campaigns were entirely government-funded and private donations banned, how do you think elections would change?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you feel if a politician you support accepted large donations from groups you disagree with?
