Government-Coalition deal secures sweeping new regime for political donations and spending

The Albanese government has secured bipartisan support for a major new regime covering political donations and spending, after making significant concessions.

The government agreed to increase the proposed threshold above which donations must be disclosed from $1000 to $5000. The present disclosure threshold is $16,900.

In addition, it has boosted the cap on individual donations to a candidate or party from the earlier proposed $20,000 to $50,000.
