What are the immediate consequences of the Victorian government's failure to act on electoral law reform by the November 2023 deadline?

The Victorian government's inaction on electoral law reform, specifically the exemption allowing major parties unlimited funds from nominated entities, is likely to face a High Court challenge. Independent candidates argue this creates an unconstitutional barrier to political communication, citing unequal access to campaign funds. This inaction follows a government review recommending changes to level the playing field and a deadline set by the candidates for November 2023.
