South Australian Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas has called for a ban on what he calls the “arms race” of political donations.

Speaking to the ABC this week, Malinauskas said he’s been on the record for over a decade expressing his concern that political parties and candidates, not only in Australia but right across the Western liberal democracy, have been in a permanent race for greater resources to fight ever more expensive election campaigns.
