Those tagged as major donors are subject to specific approaches, eg. those up to $10k still get appeal approaches unless other conditions are specified. Those who donate over $10k only receive personal approaches.

I wonder whether Mr Rattenbury will hit the phone and say, “EthicalJobs, whilst $5,000 may or may not be the ethical amount, perhaps you could consider going a little bit higher.”

The speech that I gave last year goes into a lot more detail about the ins and outs of the very orchestrated campaign machine which Mr Rattenbury tries to deny. It is interesting that they have got this orchestrated machine inside but they like to put up the myth that they are running on the back of lamington drives. They like to put up the myth that it was a second-hand book sale in the lead-up to the 2012 election which generated their funds. It is a myth. They have a red-hot campaign team who have worked extremely hard to bring in the revenue.

Whilst you may well say the “entrenched parties” or the “old parties”, I think you need only look at the adjournment speech I gave in August last year which details the level of sophistication regarding their financial drives to realise that this party is perhaps more sophisticated and more hard-nosed when it comes to fundraising, perhaps more so than any other party in the Australian commonwealth.
