Queensland Lifts Developer Donation Ban, Restricts Prisoner Voting
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Queenslands new Liberal National Party government, led by Attorney-General Deb Frecklington, has introduced electoral laws that allow property developers to donate to political campaigns again. This change reverses a ban imposed by the previous Labor government and aligns with the corruption watchdogs recommendations. The new laws also restrict voting rights for prisoners serving sentences of up to three years, apply donation caps to financial years, and permit bank loans for election campaigns. Political messages and materials must be authorized for a full twelve months before a state election, and post office boxes can now be used for these authorizations.
