The Liberal Party is able to serve the Australian community through the support of tens of thousands of Australians who, each year, donate to the Party. Without donations, the Party would be unable to continue its crucial role in supporting the democratic processes of the nation.
Donations from the community are needed by the Liberal Party to run election campaigns and to fight for a better Australia, to undertake research and develop policies, and to support candidates and Members of Parliament in their work.
By donating to the Liberal Party in the North Sydney electorate you can directly assist Joe Hockey and the North Sydney Liberals in their work for the residents of the lower north shore in the Australian Parliament.
If you make a political donation or incur electoral expenditure of $1,000 or more, you must complete and lodge a declaration with the NSW Election Funding Authority in accordance with the Election Funding and Disclosures Act 1981. A political donation includes a contribution or entry fee or an annual or other subscription. You must also disclose a political donation of less than $1,000 if the total amount of political donations made by you in respect of the same party (or associated parties), elected member, group, candidate or person in the same financial year is $1,000 or more. Penalties apply for failing to lodge a declaration. Furthermore all gifts and receipts of money, regardless of the purpose, greater than the value of $10,500 are required under the Commonwealth Electoral Act to be reported to the Australian Electoral Commission.
