Senate debates Motions

Political Donations


Larissa Waters

Larissa Waters Queensland, Australian Greens

4:28 pm

I, and also on behalf of Senator Siewert, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the Bergin report concerning Crown's gaming operations and its findings of money laundering and criminal activity;

(b) calls on all political parties and candidates to join the Greens in refusing to accept donations from Crown; and

(c) calls on the Liberal, National and Labor parties to return the almost $2 million in political donations received from Crown since 2000 or to transfer an equivalent amount to a charity or support service that deals with problem gambling.
