澳大利亚主要政党推动选举改革法案, Australian major parties push electoral reform bill seen as giving them funding advantage, critics say.

澳大利亚主要政党正在推动通过一项选举改革法案,批评者说该法案将给予他们资金优势。 Australia's major parties are pushing to pass an electoral reform bill that critics say will give them a funding advantage. 该法案将把每次投票的公共资金增加到5美元,将个人捐款上限定为20 000美元,使在职者受益,并额外花费4 100万美元。 The bill would raise public funding per vote to $5 and cap individual donations at $20,000, benefiting incumbents and costing an extra $41 million. 批评者认为,它不公平地帮助主要政党,限制了小政党的影响力,有可能操纵这个系统来维持其权力。 Critics argue it unfairly aids major parties and limits smaller parties' influence, potentially rigging the system to maintain their power.
