  Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves?
  
  
  In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties
  look set to come together to support.
  
  The reforms include caps for how much money
  wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent the equivalent of an arms race,
  and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election -
  actually less than the major parties currently spend.
  
  
  The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds for donations, thus increasing
  the transparency of who makes political donations in the first place.
  
  
  So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their cash to influence election outcomes - and the extent to which they
  can use their wealth at all will be limited.
  
  The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed
  and frequency that disclosures of donations
  need to be made.
  
  At present we have the absurd situation in which
  donations get made - but you only find out the details
  of who has given what to whom many months later, well after elections are won and lost.
  
  
  In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and
  far less big money being injected into campaigning
  by the wealthy.
  
  
  
  
  Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were 'running scared' with the policy and warned the reform would 'not stop the rot' 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a
  warning shot - saying if it serves only the major parties 'it's a rort, not
  reform'. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock (right) said:
  'What seems to be happening is a major-party stitch-up'
  
  Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current rules,
  will need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate will be capped.
  
  
  Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a 'stitch-up', 'outrageous' and 'a rort, not
  a reform'. 
  
  They have lost their collective minds after finding out that
  Labor's proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.
  
  I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before even starting to write this column.
  
  Because I had assumed - incorrectly - that these important transparency measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or
  the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort to drag the
  major parties closer to accountability.
  
  More fool me.
  
  The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put
  forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing
  cabal of crossbenchers.
  
  It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth
  protest too much on this issue.
  
  
  
  
  Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as Clive Palmer
  
  
  
  
  
  Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes à Court
  
  
  
  
  
  The Greens have taken massive donations in the past,
  contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens
  leader Adam Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)
  
  The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes à Court
  wields behind the scenes amongst the Teals. 
  
  And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past,
  contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.
  
  
  Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a
  mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of political donations.
  
  
  The Labor government isn't even seeking for these transparency rules to
  take effect immediately, by the way. It won't be some sort
  of quick-paced power play before the next election designed to catch the crossbench out.
  
  
  They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough time to absorb and understand the changes before preparing for them.
  
  
  Don't get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the
  Coalition. I imagine the opposition want to go over the
  laws with a fine tooth comb.
  
  As they should - because it certainly isn't beyond Labor to include hidden one-party advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging
  the Coalition electorally in the years to come.
  
  But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition, to what
  is being advocated for.
  
  They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could be incorporated in the
  package.
  
  To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard false commentary about being
  in politics to 'clean things up'.

  Cluster pays system doesn’t just attractive visually but also offers players more chances to win each time they spin.
  
  This candy-inspired visual style and cheerful color scheme enhance the visual allure, producing a sweet and lively atmosphere that invites players. Icons in the game display different types of candy in eye-catching tones, as well as bananas, grapes, watermelons, and other fruits. The visuals are supported by cheerful sounds that brings to the thrill of the game. The Sweet Bonanza game also features a bonus icon with a lollipop image, which plays a pivotal role in triggering the bonus spins. If players get four or more lollipop symbols, players can initiate the free round, which provides a high possibility to win big.
  
  For those who are unfamiliar with online slots or seek to experiment before wagering real money, Sweet Bonanza trial play offers an ideal option.

  This Tumble element, also known as the cascading reels mechanic, is fundamental to this game. Following any win, the winning icons are removed, and fresh symbols fill the gaps, opening more winning possibilities. This mechanic not only enhances the excitement but also grants additional winning chances to win in a single spin.
  
  A key aspect of this game is its Free Spins feature, which is often the most exciting part for gamblers. The Free Spins mode in the game can lead to substantial payouts due to the inclusion of random multipliers. Upon activation, the free spin round awards ten free spins, and extra spins can be re-triggered by landing an additional three lollipops.
