Clive Palmer just used his National Press Club address to lay out his plans for his biggest election spend yet. It's frightening:
Palmer wants to flood the election with tens of millions of dollars worth of Trump-like, far-right messages, crowding out the ad market and paving the way for a rabid, anti-climate and anti-social Dutton majority government.
At our most recent count, more than 15,000 ordinary Australians have stepped up to volunteer for their local community independent campaign, and every single one of those volunteers is a walking advertisement for a better kind of politics.
It costs $137 to equip one volunteer with the flyers, shirts, caps, and yard signs they need to get word out. Which means we need to raise $2 million to ensure every single volunteer around the country is decked out to win.
It's a massive target, so we've partnered with Fairground, a social impact philanthropic foundation, who have committed to matching all donations — so your contribution is more powerful than ever.
In an age of misinformation and creepy AI ads, word of mouth advertising among friends and neighbours is more powerful than ever.
Make a contribution to level the playing field now and Fairground will double it!

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.
