At our latest advertising rate, just $10 can fund approximately 15,500 impressions of the James Newbury accountability advertisement. A $25 contribution could fund nearly 40,000 impressions. Every contribution helps keep the advertisement circulating through the Victorian election campaign. You are capable of doing the job the press refuses to do, holding our politicians accountable.
In 2021, Victorian Liberal MP and Shadow Attorney-General James Newbury was named in allegations that he helped arrange access for male escorts to Australian Parliament House while working for former federal minister Christopher Pyne. The allegations were documented in material prepared for a Department of Finance investigation conducted by Sparke Helmore. Although the investigation concluded in March 2022, its findings have never been publicly released. I have been unable to obtain a response from Newbury addressing these specific allegations.
This independent fundraiser will help pay for the continued publication of the advertisement above highlighting these unanswered questions throughout the remainder of the Victorian election campaign, until 28 November 2026. All contributions will be used for advertising costs, and donors may request copies of advertising invoices and expenditure receipts to verify exactly how their money has been spent.
By donating, you confirm that you are an Australian citizen, Australian resident, or an organisation with a registered Australian Business Number (ABN), and that your contribution complies with Victorian political donation laws.
