Advance

Advance is a right-wing political campaign organization in Australia. It is newsworthy due to recent disclosures of significant political donations received in the lead-up to the 2025 election. Specifically, data from the Australian Electoral Commission for the 2024-25 financial year reveals that Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting donated almost $900,000 to Advance. This information is significant because it highlights the financial backing of right-wing political groups and contrasts with the funding of progressive organizations like GetUp, which is preparing to combat the influence of conservative groups. The substantial donation to Advance underscores the organization's potential impact on the political landscape and policy debates in Australia.
