The Victorian Labor and National parties have opposed a ban on donations from the property industry, as the state’s anti-corruption watchdog found a developer showered the major parties with cash to gain access and attempt to influence lucrative planning decisions.
It’s not bribery, it’s donations! Fucking corrupt cunts.
ALP and LNP; exactly the same when it matters
I would think all business donations are done for the purpose of influence. Maybe it should have a ceiling amount or be banned altogether. Find a different funding model. And ultimately, who pays? Doubt it’s out of the developers pocket. The bribe money would be covered by jacking up the sales price of the developments to ensure that it doesn’t eat into the profits.
“The Liberal Party did not address the proposition in its submission.”
Liberal Party:Nationals, my little coalition buddies, you take the turn as the bad guys this time, and we’ll look like the, errrr, not so bad guys.
Surprising nobody (sadly)
