It was disturbing to uncover factual evidence on what most Australians thought to be just a grey area when we published our investigation of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). It is suffering from endemic corruption and has been the life line to both the Liberal and Labor parties keeping them perpetually in government.

There is a public inquiry after every federal election, although mostly kept quiet, this inquiry is looking into missing votes in WA, multi voting by individuals, people missing from AEC rolls at polling booths, and the list goes on.

The pensioner vote is large enough to hold the government accountable and that fact is seriously disturbing to the two major political parties.
Really if there are parties that depend on political handouts or favours,there is little chance of stopping corruption by the corporates who are trying to monopolize an idustry to further garentee their profitability,there is little hope of elimenating the corruption that will follow. I feel that there must be something done to put a stop to any devious ways to feed finance to the parties.There is so many present means of empowering and financing would be party pollies that if something must be done to make it a fair election so that political party candidates must not have any greater legal financing methods either”devious or legal” than independant candidates In other words the presense of the political parties is a corruption in itself . I think it is quite possible that corruption has been rampant for many years, and will remain whilst they can operate under legal approval. It is obvious that money can buy almost anything.
