One nation in South Australia is set for a massive $6 million taxpayer payout after their

strong showing in the recent state election.

Greens expect that $3 million.

The setup stems from 2024 legislation that banned most political donations, aiming to

level the field by replacing private money with, public dollars.

Experts call it generous funding at record levels, boosting one nation to major party

status with resources for staff, offices, and smoother operations.

Every President Carlos Cuoremba says they'll use it to bill professionally without losing

their grassroots vibe, eyeing a real shot at power by 2030.

Meanwhile, the donation cap forced leader Cory Bernardi to cover private jet flights

himself during the campaign.

A recent high court ruling struck down similar funding in Victoria, sparking calls for a

deeper view of South Australia's election rules and issues.

Americans get allocated come July, with a government review of the whole model kicking

off by year's end.

This positions the 2030 race as the biggest spending showdown yet, all on the public's

dime.
