Do property developers and the financiers own the Iemma Government?

There is no getting away from the fact that at local government level there is often a unhealthy relationship between developers and individuals councillors or some council staff.
Now that NSW Planning Minister Frank Sartor has hijacked basic development planning processes and left communities and residents out in the cold, Morris Iemma needs to answer questions regarding exactly what level of 'favoured status' may be brought by property and financial corporations making sizeable political donations to the NSW Labor Party.
The NSW Liberals also need to explain why they have never vigorously pursued the issue of whether developer donations are an appropriate part of the political system at all.

Here are the 149 separate donations made by the property sector across the political spectrum in the 2006-07 financial year according to Democracy4sale.
Go to that Greens website if you wish to explore donations by those banking institutions which are also developers in their own right.
