AI Summary

short article 1 min

Adani donated over $600,000 to the Liberal National party (LNP) of Queensland prior to the 2024 state election, making them the LNP's largest single federal donor. The donations were revealed on February 2nd through the Australian Electoral Commission. These donations were not disclosed in real-time due to federal electoral funding laws. The Greens party attributes the delayed disclosure to a loophole in federal regulations. The donations bypassed the state-level disclosure system, delaying public awareness of Adani's financial support for the LNP.
