Open about funding.
Trust includes being clear about how TallyOz plans to sustain itself.
Free participation, optional revenue
Voting and results are free. The planned revenue sources are A$4.95 monthly commenting memberships after a free first month, labelled advertising and future aggregated research products. Subscriptions, ads and data sales are not active at this stage.
Independence
No political party or lobby group owns TallyOz. Commercial arrangements must not buy extra votes, privileged exposure or favourable moderation. Any future sponsorship arrangements should be disclosed separately and must not be presented as editorial opinion.
Giving back
A charitable giving programme is being developed. No percentage, partner affiliation or donation total is claimed at this stage. Before launch, the recipient, permission to use its name, contribution formula and evidence of donations must be confirmed. Verified receipts or totals will then be published here.
