In a move that could have ramifications for political donations across the nation, the LNP lost its bid to keep donations of $1000 or more off the official register.
The Electoral Commission of Queensland took legal action against the LNP to force it to release details of about $100,000 in donations for the party's federal candidates, which the LNP argued did not fall under the state’s reporting rules.
Supreme Court Judge David Jackson ruled yesterday that political donations above $1000 must be disclosed.
