#OurDemocracy Framework outlines a set of policy reforms to level the playing field so that politics is fair for everyone. But this isn’t going to change on its own – political leaders and corporate powers won’t stop doing business this way unless we stop them.
That’s why we need to build a movement right across the country, of people who want our democracy to put people first – not corporate profits.
No politician wants to look bad in an election year, so this is the perfect time to ratchet up the pressure for stronger integrity standards for our political leaders. They work for us, and they need our votes to keep their jobs. Together we can let them know that if they want to represent us, they’ll need to lift their game.
We’d like to hear what you think: what is working well for you about the #OurDemocracy campaign, and how would you like to get involved?
Your answers will help us design a strong, community-centred campaign with a huge impact in this term of government.
Once a month we are hosting #OurDemocracy Deep Dives. This is a space for our community to unpack the essential reforms needed to create a fair democracy, connect with each other, and learn from experts.
Join us on Wednesday October 19 for Organising for Change, the second webinar in the series. We’ll be hearing stories about building powerful movements to win democratic reform from inspiring guest speakers.
The National Integrity survey showed overwhelming support for integrity reform amongst respondents. Use our email tool to share the survey results with your MP and the candidates vying for your vote, and to ask them: where do you stand on integrity reform?
Use our simple email tool to ask your MP if they’ll publish the list of people funding their re-election campaign, and support strong laws governing all political donations.

After more than 2 years and numerous scandals, we still don’t have a corruption watchdog with teeth. It’s time to hold the government to account.
Our Framework sets out the changes we need to make our political system are fairer. Add your name to call for stronger integrity laws!
