Associated Entities (AEs) are organisations that are formally linked to political parties. This project aims to examine how AEs interact with Australian democracy by investigating their impact on elections, the law, and party system dynamics. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the impact of these nearly 200 key political actors, with a particular focus on how they are able to elude significant scrutiny of their activities. Expected outcomes include a new typology of AEs, a new financial index to measure their impact, and proposals to improve their regulation. The key benefits generated include: a strengthened campaign finance regime, and enhanced transparency and integrity to Australia's democracy.

关联实体 (AE) 是与政党有正式联系的组织。该项目旨在通过调查 AE 对选举、法律和政党制度动态的影响来研究 AE 如何与澳大利亚民主互动。该项目预计将产生有关这近 200 个关键政治参与者影响的新知识，特别关注他们如何能够逃避对其活动的严格审查。预期成果包括不良事件的新类型、衡量其影响的新财务指数以及改进监管的建议。产生的主要好处包括：加强竞选财务制度，提高澳大利亚民主的透明度和完整性。
