Media Release
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has again confirmed the dark days of paper bag democracy are making a return to the state.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said Campbell Newman again confirmed on talkback radio today that big LNP donors could make secret donations at electorate offices across the state and they will never be declared to the public.
“What happened to the Premier who was going to be open and accountable?” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“We now have an arrogant Campbell Newman with a massive majority who is shameless in his promotion of laws that mean big donors can make big donations and keep them secret."
“Queensland democracy should not be for sale and Queenslanders have a right to know who is making big donations to politicians.”

Patrick Condren: This is something we canvassed yesterday with Scott Emerson…in terms of Jackie Trad raised the issue…It was about can people go in and give $10,000, up to $10,000 and not have it recorded?
Campbell Newman: Well that’s under the rules as they stand now yes, that’s the case.
