Kylea Tink, independent MP for North Sydney, said she supports “greater transparency” on money’s influence in politics, describing spending caps as “a good idea”.
“The tricky part in this will be coming to what that number needs to look like.”
Running as an independent is “one of the hardest things I’ve ever done”, she said, and “without the backing of a party the need to be able to invest to build name recognition and the agenda I was running on was absolutely essential”.
She said the bigger issue was real-time disclosure, and truth in political advertising adding that was “definitely something we should pursue”.
