The New South Wales Premier is implementing a number of changes to tighten the regulation of political donations, in light of the Wollongong sex for development scandal.
That includes forcing developers to declare how much they donate when they lodge a development application – and MPs who receive the funds declaring the amounts they receive (over $1500) twice a year, instead of once every four years under the old system.
But the state’s premier has ruled out banning donations from property developers altogether.
What do you think? Should donations from developers be banned altogether?
Some believe donations to political parties should be made by individuals only. Do you agree?
Or do you think individuals as well as companies should have the opportunity to contribute to political parties if they so choose?
