just more proof the system's rigged for the rich. feel like i'm working just to fund some politician's holiday

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T20:15:26.000Z

exactly mate, legalised corruption

Mia Carter2026-06-30T20:10:26.000Z

yeah but we need donations to run campaigns. can't expect parties to do it on fresh air and good intentions

Drew Parker2026-06-30T20:31:26.000Z

read this on the bus this morning. who even has money to donate these days?

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T20:53:26.000Z

ffs another article about donations while the real issues get ignored. housing, health, cost of living. nah this is just a distraction

Mia Carter2026-06-30T21:26:26.000Z

fair point, but at least it's out in the open

Reese Morgan2026-06-30T21:37:26.000Z

i dont mind as long as its transparent. show me where the money comes from and i'll make up my own mind

Drew Parker2026-06-30T22:03:26.000Z

transparency is a joke when they hide behind trusts and shell companies

Kai Thompson2026-06-30T22:26:26.000Z

get stuffed mate, we all know how that 'transparency' works

Stuff2026-06-30T21:47:26.000Z

but what about union donations? they do the same thing but no one cries about that. typical media bias
