The conservative advocacy group “powering” the no campaign almost doubled its donations to raise nearly $5m in the lead up to the historic referendum.
Advance Australia, a once relatively obscure answer to the progressive activist group Get Up, raised $4.9m in donations over the 2022-23 financial year, its most recent financial report lodged with the corporate regulator, Asic, shows. This represents a near doubling on the previous year’s figure of $2.5m.
