Openness, accountability, truth and the public’s right to know are essential protections…
Our PolicyTransparency & Accountability
Where we stand
Since the Australian Democrats stopped holding the balance of power in the Parliament, lies and misinformation have become the norm, spending by private interests on election campaigns has increased, peaceful protest is being criminalised, and journalists and whistleblowers are being charged for exposing government wrongdoing.
We must get back into government to keep the bastards honest.
