Flinders University Associate Lecturer Josh Sunman discusses the various reasons why Teal independents Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender formed their own political party called ‘Community Strong Australia’. “Allegra Spender was trying to be very clear that this was a move to set up a genuine centrist party,” Mr Sunman told Sky News Australia. “Whereas Zali Steggal has acknowledged a little bit more that the donation forms have been a large driver of this,” he said. “As it stands under the new laws, independents could spend up to $80,000 in their electorates if they were running. “Political parties are allowed to spend far more than that, up to $90,000,000 across the country.”
