flag Queensland’s government proposes lifting property developer donation bans, raising caps and allowing loans, sparking concerns over corporate influence.

flag Queensland's LNP government has introduced legislation to lift the ban on property developer donations to state political parties, increasing the annual donation cap from $12,000 to $48,000 and allowing campaign funding via bank loans. flag The move reverses a 2018 restriction, with the government citing fairness and alignment with federal rules. flag Critics, including Labor and the Greens, argue it boosts corporate influence and undermines trust. flag The bill also removes voting rights for prisoners serving up to three years, reduces electoral commission oversight of party pre-selections, and requires 12-month campaign material authorizations. flag The bill is under parliamentary review, with debate expected next year.
