π LABOR RECEIVED $36 MILLION IN PUBLIC FUNDING. WHERE IS LABOR'S AUDIT? π Anthony Albanese spent two days demanding One Nation prove its donations were real. So let's talk about the money nobody's allowed to ask him about.
THE QUESTION HE NEVER HAD TO ANSWER
The CFMEU has donated $4.3 million to the Labor Party, a figure on the parliamentary record. Liberal MP Zoe McKenzie told Parliament the fuller number is $11.5 million in donations and support under this Prime Minister's leadership. The government that took the money abolished the ABCC, the watchdog that prosecuted the union's lawbreaking, and two years later the union's construction division was placed under administration over corruption and bikie infiltration.
THE $36 MILLION FROM TAXPAYERS
While the argument ran over whether One Nation's $59 donors were real, the Daily Telegraph published an analysis of AEC public funding from the last election, reported by Sky News today:
β’ Labor: more than $36 million
β’ Liberals: more than $28 million
β’ Greens: more than $12 million
β’ One Nation: $6 million
β’ Nationals: $4 million
THE AUDIT ONE NATION DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
One Nation produced a source code audit inside 48 hours. Software engineer Daryl Monnink reviewed the website's code and live databases and found the $2.2 million counter includes only successfully received and validated donation payments. 28,000 donors, $59 average, and Sky's independent tech experts backed the findings.
Labor's $27 counter campaign has no live tally and no published total. Hanson's number, sourced to the grapevine, is about $20,000. Labor won't confirm or deny it, and under the disclosure rules running until January, it never has to.
One more thing. The $50,000 donation caps that would've changed all of this were Labor's own law, due 1 July. Labor delayed them to January 2027.
