A report reveals vested interests keep donating millions of dollars to political parties to play their political games (“Secretive donors give $1 billion to political parties”, February 1).
The federal disclosure scheme is not working. We have become a nation of shruggers. Politicians shrug off this and their lack of integrity and accountability. Voters shrug this off as they know that is just what politicians do. Enough of shrugging. We want changes to this system and perhaps action on the problems of climate change will happen.

When eight-year-old Agam Singh was a student at Sydney Childrenâs Hospital for nearly all of last year while undergoing treatment for cancer, his music therapist, Matt, asked him for help.
Matt wanted to form a rap group. But he needed Agamâs skills.
Agam could be shy sometimes, but his teacher said when someone needed help he would always come through. So he came up with the name Candy Rappers (get the pun?) and started helping his friend Matt with some rhymes and beats.
