The Tasmanian Electoral Commission donations disclosure list confirms the Liberal and Labor parties continue to rake in money from vested interests.
Parliament has now backed stronger donations’ disclosure laws. Despite this, Premier Rockliff refused to reveal whether Big Salmon donate to the Liberal Party
Mr President, I thank the members who have spoken in support of this bill. I appreciated your contributions.
Almost every voter walks to the ballot box with a set of interests guiding their decision to vote. That is normal and a part of democracy.
Another year, another display of shameless secrecy on political donations from the Liberal and Labor parties.
This week the House of Assembly passed the Greens’ donation reform legislation, it's time the Liberal government to come clean on which vested interests are lining their coffers.
In an unbelievable response, Premier Rockliff said in Parliament he was unaware of the Stony Rise developer’s donation to the Liberal Party until Wednesday this week.
The Liberal Party has earned a reputation for its dodgy deals, money with mates, and special favours for donors.
Earlier this week, we asked you if the Liberals had received donations from the Stony Rise developer, Tipalea. You refused to answer the question.
The Greens are delighted our bill to make political donations transparent has passed the Tasmanian House of Assembly.
