 Australia knows it. They just passed a law.[[https://www.aec.gov.au/news/disclosure-legislative-changes.htm|The Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 2025]] which limits the amount of donations to any individual in an election to $50,000 per year. $250,000 to any state or territory.
