Towards a More Democratic Political Funding Regime in New South Wales (PDF), a new report by the Audit’s Joo-Cheong Tham, was prepared for the New South Wales Electoral Commission. The report includes a blueprint for reform, covering: a more robust disclosure scheme; election spending limits; contribution limits (with an exemption for membership fees); stricter regulation of fund-raisers; a Party and Candidate Support Fund; and enhanced accountability of government advertising.
