The Liberal National Party in Queensland say they will return a $5,000 donation from a company which owns a property development firm, despite developer donations being banned by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in October last year.
A spokesperson for the ABC responded by pointing out “the Labor Party receives donations from unions such as the CFMEU who benefit financially from property developers like CBUS."
The ban was in response to the Crime and Corruption Commission’s Operation Belcarra, which raised concerns about the conduct of four local councils in the south-east during the 2016 council elections.
