Raising funds

Until this month, the Australian Political Reform Club did not present any information directly to the Australian public.

However, the political situation has now changed for the worse.

The urgency of political reform in Australia is now dire.

Every Australian citizen therefore has an immediate and ongoing duty to contribute to the political reform process, whether financially or otherwise.

Running a club, such as this one, regularly involves running out of money.

Whether paying for the design of an expensive logo or paying for running shoes exclusively designed for members determined to run for high office, the Australian Political Reform Club has many short-term and long-term costs to meet, even when its members do not have many prospective members to assess.

Prospective members obviously receive priority assessment when they can demonstrate inexpensive yet elegant tastes, good manners and legal access to unusually large funds of liquid assets surplus to their personal requirements.  

If prospective members have a propensity to protest with logo-carrying placards in front of photojournalists, they will be expected to pay their own legal fees, regardless of the opinions of the Federal Court on such matters.

As the Australian Political Reform Club does not trade anything with non-members, including insults, the club is mainly a consumer of products and services, not a provider.  That is why the club has so many expenses to meet and a regular shortfall of revenue.

Each member is required to cover all expenses associated with personal membership.

There are certainly no group memberships or corporate memberships or family memberships associated with the Australian Political Reform Club.

Assessing individual persons as prospective members is so much easier to achieve than assessing all their social connections, with or without surreptitious assistance from the Australian Federal Police.

All prospective members of the Australian Political Reform Club, and all current members of the club, are expected to be in good standing with the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation.

An exception is made with regards to the latter for any prospective members currently practicing the profession of journalism in Australia.

Legal fees and legal threats are often expensive, in any part of the world, hence any suitably qualified legal practitioners with relevant experience, and an eagerness to act on a pro bono basis on behalf of the club, are encouraged to apply for membership as soon as possible.

The same applies for any suitably qualified psychologists and psychiatrists willing to offer pro bono therapeutic services to members threatened by corporate and non-corporate bullies.

Raising funds is only necessary when expenses arise.  The costs of quality accountancy can often be especially difficult to meet, hence any suitably qualified persons seeking to provide the Australian Political Reform Club with financial assistance of any suitable sort, in a pro bono capacity, is encouraged to apply for membership.

Keeping out charlatans is an especially expensive activity, whether in a club or in a country or in a parliament.

That is why members of parody political parties, including those registered with the Australian Electoral Commission, especially those current in possession of far too many seats in parliaments, will not be permitted to join the Australian Political Reform Club.

If you have considerable, highly ethical fundraising experience, and you are currently eligible to become a member of the Australian Political Reform Club, please ensure you provide evidence of your fundraising abilities in cash and kind at your earliest opportunity.
