Episode Details

South Australias state election unfolds under new laws banning political party donations, shifting focus to public funding and third-party groups. Right-leaning Turning Point Australia, anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe, and progressive GetUp join unions and former Liberal MP Christopher Pyne in backing candidates, with many pushing voters towards One Nation. Critics warn of loopholes allowing powerful interests to outspend candidates without voter oversight, while Premier Peter Malinauskas argues that votes, not rich donors, now drive funding. One Nation gains ground in polls, with groups like Turning Point and Howe urging preferences for them. Penalties for rule-dodgers are steep, but disclosures are delayed, keeping the full spending picture hidden until after the ballots are counted.
