How is the campaign funded?
Deb doesn’t have the deep pockets of the major parties. Hundreds of individuals across the Monash community and beyond have donated to the campaign, because they want to see better representation, and better outcomes for our electorate.
We have also been running fundraising events, and we are selling t-shirts, tote bags and badges via our website shop here.
We’ve also received funding from Climate 200, which is a crowdfunding organisation with over 14,000 donors from every electorate in the country, including Monash. We are really pleased to receive Climate 200 funding, because not only does it help us compete against the millions of dollars the major parties spend on campaigns, but it also shows that Climate 200 thinks Deb can win!
We are completely transparent about our funding, all donations are published on our website here.
We encourage you to also ask the Liberal & Labor candidates how they are funded, as they are not nearly as transparent, and won't disclose the source of their funding until they are required to do so by law after the election.
If you are interested, you can see who funded the major parties and other candidates at the last election on the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website here.
