In the referendum, 1/5th of all donations came from undisclosed sources. It is an integrity failing on two fronts: - donations aren't live - large donations can be anonymous The Centre's Dr Catherine Williams was on ABC 730 last night: iview.abc.net.au/video/NC2401H0… #auspol

Public money for partisan political gain is wasteful and antithetical to good governance. Oppositions almost always oppose it. Governments tend to implement it. Helen and the growth in support for non-major parties signify community demands. Change is long overdue. #auspol

@profholden @crikey_news It can't be the additional disclosure of the low threshold given Labor and everyone else other than the Coalition reports down to $1000 -- some report everything. Suspect it reflects that transparency's a great thing to champion in opposition but vanishes as a priority in govt
Hard agree with @BernardKeane here. We wrote a series together for @crikey_news a few years ago about political donations. Our federal disclosure system isn’t just broken, it’s a joke. But very easy to fix. Which begs the question: why won’t labor fix it?
I've covered political donations every 1 Feb ever since I've been at Crikey. Same story every year. Our federal disclosure laws are a joke, and look increasingly absurd compared to Qld and NSW. Labor promised better disclosure at the last election. They've since done NOTHING.
@cpi_aus Almost certainly. Overly priced tickets to a lunch, or a dinner. Labor classifies it as an 'other receipt' because they are providing the event. But credit to APPEA for seeing it for what it is in reality.
Something perculiar in today's donation disclosure data is the different views of what is a 'donation'. For example, APPEA declared it made a $33,000 donation to the Labor Party. The Labor Party didn't report it as a donation but as an 'other receipt'

Tomorrow is the first working day of Feb. As is the case at this time every year, we will release the annual financial disclosure returns on our Transparency Register. We always get a few Q’s on the subject, so below is some more info on what to expect ⬇️ transparency.aec.gov.au
📢OUT NOW: Australia has maintained its score of 75/100 in latest global corruption rankings, now at 14th place. Australia's unchanged score shows our corruption fight sits at a crossroads. Explore the full results: transparency.org.au/australias-cor… #CPI2023
📈 Australia’s CPI score is still 10 points lower than 2012. For a healthy democracy, the government must prioritise greater transparency on political donations & federal lobbying regulations & protect people who blow the whistle. Read more: transparency.org.au/australias-cor… #CPI2023
