The magnate behind trumpests could be spending all that money on the betterment of society but instead forms a shonky political party?

I can think of two things right now that money could go to that would probably have a positive impact

He should give you the money 💰

My ideas for the money:

More accommodation vouchers.

Extra funding to food banks or at least do free school meals.

Make methadone free. (Edit: Victoria is the only Australian state in which it isn’t.)

But they don’t want that. They want struggling people who are easy to manipulate and groups that can be demonised

That's why I hope my vote goes far, so things like this can become of a reality. Safe housing and food and peace are basic human rights.
