ALP and LNP; exactly the same when it matters
I would think all business donations are done for the purpose of influence. Maybe it should have a ceiling amount or be banned altogether. Find a different funding model. And ultimately, who pays? Doubt it’s out of the developers pocket. The bribe money would be covered by jacking up the sales price of the developments to ensure that it doesn’t eat into the profits.
