libs taking developers bribes
Nov 4^th, 2015 at 7:35am

A prominent Northern Territory developer has been selected as the preferred tenderer of an area of "prime Crown land" near Darwin.

Annual donor returns to the Australian Electoral Commission revealed Halikos donated $100,000 to the Country Liberals (CLP) and $90,000 to Labor, in 2012-13.

In that same year, director John Halikos also made a personal $50,000 donation to the CLP.

Northern Territory Electoral Commission records show Labor received a $10,000 donation in the last two financial years worth of published data for donors – but the CLP received a total of $200,000 from the company and Mr Halikos in that same period.

you keep asking the same dumb question Swag ... what's the matter? memory failing you?

They should ban ALL political donations to individuals or to parties.

If someone wants to donate because they are altruistic to they can donate to a govt pool, where the money is then distributed across to all parties by an third party on a pro rata basis so that no one owes anyone any favors

However, they can be banned in specific cases, due to a different High Court ruling.

If you think the tender process is flawed - lets see your evidence If you think it's biased - lets see the evidence. Last but not least it's interesting the article does not show who the 2nd and 3rd tenderers are and how much they contributed

Agree

We're not likely to see any change though, the rich and powerful like to keep the current system.

and I don't think you get it , these companies aren't bribing the libs because they like the libs, they are bribing ALL parties to try and hedge their bets, but with the highest amount usually going to the party they think is most likely to win the next election or most likely to return the favour ...

You mean like when Rudd and then Gillard used taxpayer funds to repay Unions to the tune of $7m for campaign contributions in both their elections and tried to justify it as "training". Sound familiar? Think TURC...
