The big donors this year
The Electoral Commission has updated its register of big donors – those who have given over $20,000 in the last 12 months. The donors in size are:
- ACT – Alan Gibbs – $100,000
- ACT – John Boscawen – $100,000
- Greens – Stuart Bramhall – $57,276
- Greens – Christopher Marshall – $44,571
- Greens – Jeanette Fitzsimons – $34,611
- National – John Key – $30,000
- National – Road Transport Trust – $30,000
- Greens – Sue Kedgley – $21,792
- Greens – Bryan Forde – $24,750
Interesting that along with ACT, the Greens are the party of big money – not just small $50 donations. That is $180,000 they have had in from just five donors. They are fortunate to have such wealthy party members.
