Big Money buys power – in Australia

The Sydney Morning Herald reveals the influence of big money in Australian politics – the $10.1 million spent by the trade union federation against John Howard.

Other left wing groups spent sums of up to half a million dollars.  The only spending by an employer group was the WA Master Builders Association who spent $32,000.

Obviously the results of the last election are invalid, as according to the rhetoric of the left in NZ, Kevin Rudd purchased the election.  They will no doubt call for John Howard to be returned to office as Interim PM until new money free elections be called.
