On 31 March 2016 The Australian revealed the names of political donors that the Liberal Party of Australia had been attempting to deny to the Australian Electoral Commission.
It is noted that property developers are banned from making donations to political parties standing for election in New South Wales.
It is noted that the Free Enterprise Foundation donated $75,000 to the NSW division of the Liberal Party in 2013-14, $225,00 to the federal division of the Liberal Party in 2012-13, $1,250,000 to the federal division in 2013-14 and another $100,000 to the federal division in 2014-15.
Those donors with a red asterisk beside their names are known to have been mentioned (or their representatives gave evidence) during NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption “Operation Spicer” hearings.
This is the list of those names as published, with my annotations:
