The major parties think they’ve got independents cornered. They’ve just passed new laws designed to further rig elections, while handing themselves more than $140 million in public funding.
Let’s prove them wrong – by backing every community independent campaign challenging them at the coming election.
1 in 3 Australians voted against the major parties at the last election. That number is unprecedented and growing. This bill is a brazen attempt to roll back that momentum and limit your ability to support genuine, community backed alternatives to the status quo.
These laws won’t come into effect until after the 2025 election. That means this election is our best chance to help independents win seats off the major parties, and force them to negotiate with a bigger, more powerful pro-climate crossbench.
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.
