Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

While debates over what role money should play in electoral politics – a topic New Zealand follows the United States in calling ‘campaign finance’ – have occurred spasmodically in this country, it has received an unprecedented amount of attention since 2005. Although this article is not intended to be a general history of the topic (see instead Geddis, 2010b), some contextual background nevertheless is important to understanding the current proposals for reform contained in the Electoral (Finance Reform and Advance Voting) Amendment Bill.
