Labor minister Clare O’Neil is speaking to the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing host and she is asked about the electoral bill deal between the two major parties:

This is driven by the Labor Party’s long-standing commitment to try to get big money out of politics. What we don’t want is to live in a democracy where effectively billionaires can buy themselves or their proxies, seats in the Parliament. So this is a reform we’ve been working on for a long time. I know there’s been a lot of conversations not just with the Opposition but with other parties and Independents. This deal’s been struck with the Coalition and we’ll see what the Independents and others have to say about it.
