Transparency of political party funding - what money is buying politics - people should know who they are voting for.

DAD6C60B

Wellington NAP4 Workshop 2020

Rationale - information about why and the context in which decisions are made - not just the what and how.

D6941198

Grass roots review of political funding

7C7E67A3

E11D0E63

C8880E20

Individual

Reform party political funding by introducing a Canadian-style low limit on donations (around $1,500 per person per year) and trialling democracy vouchers (to be spent by citizens on the party of their choice) as a way to make party funding open, transparent and free from corruption.

2AAF9CC7

Individual

Relatedly, give the Electoral Commission stronger powers to investigate party donations and check the veracity of statements made by parties.

071003B9

Individual

Institute measures to give appointments to public posts greater integrity and transparency. Such appointments are seen as being too often politically motivated. An independent body to make or vet appointments could help enhance trust, as it does in other countries.

Expand diary disclosures from ministers to include all MPs (and eventually senior public servants). This is common practice in a few countries and enhances openness.

Look into number plate recognition by local authorities and facial recognition. Need regulation is this area and very clear policies on why it is there.

25ED4AD9

Wellington NAP4 Workshop 2020

Need much more work on algorithms. Stats charter doesn't do enough. Not convinced there is funding or a legal framework. Need money and resource if you're serious about the public having trust in this.

6BEAE2FD

Youth have to go out and find ways to have their voice heard which is fine but for unengaged people, whose perspectives we need, its very hard for them unless we flag it for them.
