You might want to get some proper legal advice about political donations, Glen, if you’re going to use crowd funding to pursue political aspirations.
IIRC, Melbourne radio station 3AW started to run a competition, with the prize being funding to run for the senate. This was kyboshed once they looked into the ins and outs of funding - you cannot pay for someone else to run, they have to fund themselves. Derryn Hinch was very involved in the competition, and ended up running himself.
