Donations to major parties and an ex-premier as a lobbyist: how datacentres play the political game in Australia
"Within days of Albanese returning home, Amazon reported its largest payment to an Australian political party on record. The company’s federal disclosures show a $46,500 payment to the Labor party’s federal branch on 28 June.
This was one of 34 payments – totalling $538,000 – that Amazon made to Labor and Liberal branches over a six-year period."
Gotta just LOVE that next line in the story though which is "*While the money did not influence the government’s decision-making..*" Erm.. Of f*cking COURSE IT DID! That's exactly how bribery works. The exact second you make Political "*Donations*" illegal all this corruption will stop dead in an instant, but they're too busy lining their pockets with it currently..
