Over 90 per cent of the political “donations” Singaporean Government-owned telco Optus made last financial year occured under former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.

Singaporean Government-owned telco giant Optus has claimed it is not a “foreign donor” under Australia’s electoral laws — but is refusing to provide any evidence to back the claim.

A rift has emerged between the NSW Premier and Treasurer on the eve of the state election, over Dominic Perrottet’s attempts to mask his ties to the scandal that felled his predecessor Gladys Berejiklian.

A lobbying company run by Liberal Party powerbroker Christian Ellis just weeks ago quietly deleted ten “clients” from the NSW Government register — including Toplace, the major Sydney property development company owned by Jean Nassif.

Australia's electoral regulator has gone against its own published rules to waive through $550,000 in secretive “donations” the billionaire Lowy family made to the Liberal Party.

The Federal Liberal Party has been caught making false claims about the legality of foreign political “donations”, in an apparent attempt to cover-up illegal payments from Singaporean Government-owned Optus.
