Unions NSW (No 3, divided in 2). In what is left of this challenge to parts of the NSW Electoral Funding Act ... the Court has reserved judgment over whether a $20 000 cap on lobby groups campaigning at State by-elections, is constitutional. 1/3 austlii.edu.au/au/other/HCAT…

NSW counters the $20k cap is more than trad by-election campaigns by lobby groups. More broadly, that parliament didn't just pull figure from its a**e And that parties are accountable in ways lobbies are not FWIW Under ECHR treaty, UK court upheld £5 limit! HCA is more liberal

The UK prosecution + law was undone by Euro Ct of Human Rights, but not without significant dissent UK Parliament simply raised the limit to £500 That remains the most a lobbyist can spend 'promoting' a candidate, similar to NSW 'electoral' matter cap hudoc.echr.coe.int/fre#%7B%2…
