Corrupt Lieberals funnel property developer money to NSW election, illegally

In New South Wales it's illegal for property developers to donate to political parties. 

However Lieberal lies are starting to seriously unravel, with over $4million in donations being held back by the NSW Electoral Commission as it investigates just where all this money came from. Money that is now needed for Turnbulls federal election campaign.

At the centre of this is $700,000 worth of donations which were sent to the NSW division of the Lieberal party, via a Canberra national Lieberal slush fund. Revealed is that the $700,000 worth of donations came from property developers.

Now those property developers are claiming they didn't know the money would be sent to the NSW division (which is illegal to do so) and are threatening to sue the Lieberal party over it.

I think the most interesting thing is that Abbott and Turnbull are both from seats in Sydney, NSW. Now we have a direct connection between the ongoing conga line of NSW corrupt Lieberals, and Canberra. 

The full list of the secret donors involved in almost $700,000 worth of payments at the heart of the NSW Liberal Party election donations scandal has been ­revealed in leaked financial records. 

Documents obtained by The Australian show 73 payments by individuals and companies were funnelled through the Liberals’ controversial Canberra-based trust, the Free Enterprise Found­ation, to the party’s NSW division before the 2011 state election. 

As the NSW Liberal Party ­attempts to reach a settlement with the NSW Electoral Commission in order to receive $4.3 million in funding it is withholding in the lead up to Malcolm Turnbull’s election campaign, the party is facing the prospect of legal action by property developers, furious they were encouraged to make the donations via the trust. 

The payments include major donations from Lang Walker’s Walker Group Holdings, Nathan Tinkler’s Boardwalk Enterprises and Frank Lowy’s Westfield. 

They strongly hit back at the Liberal Party yesterday, saying their financial support was not ­intended for the March 2011 state election in NSW — the only state in Australia where donations from property developers are banned. 

NSW property developer Tim Gunasinghe, who donated through his company Printban Pty Ltd, has not ruled out launching legal action against the NSW Liberal Party and said he was also unaware his donation would be directed to the state division. 

“We were approached by them as a lobby group to help developers try to get through red tape,” he told The Australian. 

Donations were made via the Free Enterprise Foundation and were then directed to NSW ahead of the 2011 state election, where former premier Barry O’Farrell was elected in a landslide victory. The Australian   

It's worth noting also that Barry O'Farrell had to resign as premier of the state after getting caught out in corruption.

And we're supposed to go to an election over union corruption?
