And it’s not just gambling. The fossil fuel industry is also pouring cash into both major parties, bankrolling shady front groups like "Australians for Prosperity" to spread misinformation about independents.
Meanwhile, far-right attack machines like Advance and Liberal Party smear campaigns are ramping up their efforts to protect the status quo.
Independents are shaking up a system rigged in favor of big donors, and the major parties — and their corporate backers — will do whatever it takes to stop them.
While they take millions from vested interests, independents are bringing integrity back to politics and standing up for their communities. But they need your help.
Chip in today, and Fairground, a philanthropic fund that supports innovators in climate justice and democracy, will DOUBLE your donation to help independents fight back.
Climate 200 only accepts donations from Australian citizens, permanent residents and Australian companies. Climate 200 is required to disclose the name and address of any person or entity that makes donations above the $16,900 disclosure threshold in the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
We are very excited to support Climate 200 and strongly agree with their goals for action on climate, integrity, and diversity. After meeting the team at Climate 200, we know that they will make sure that every dollar donated is well-targeted and will make a real difference in getting more independent voices into Parliament.
We are proud to support Climate 200 in its mission to support local communities and their independent candidates fighting for action on climate change, equality and integrity. We need our political representation to respond to the concerns of its citizens. We know we are better together and hope you join us in this push for a safe climate and fairer future for all.
We’re frustrated and embarrassed with the lack of meaningful action at the federal level in Australia to address the Climate Emergency. We strongly feel there is a need for more people in the federal government that have the integrity and the independence to act in the interests of future generations. Please join us in supporting the work being done by Climate 200 at this pivotal point.
