One of the accomplishments of the Green party in government has been a limited reform of ethics legislation.

A great deal of the focus of the Green party was on banning corporate donations, but little time was given to discussing the negative effects of union donations, despite the fact that these are a more pressing vested interest for most ministers, tend to interact with government more and tend to recieve more money from the public purse.

Does the Green party's disproportionate focus on corporate donations over union donations demonstrate the anti-business ideology that the Green party is often accused of having?
