The commentary by the Independent Contractors and Business Association failed to mention the association donated more than $440,000 to the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Liberal party between 2005 and 2016. Wow!
Hardly an independent group, then. Perhaps the Independent Contractors and Business Association is desperate to keep a voting system that allows conservative political parties access to untrammelled power with a minority of votes. This power is then used to further the interests of their friends in business.
Proportional representation will definitely reduce the chance of such behaviour, and that is why the ICBA is so opposed to it.
