"Greens candidate for South Brisbane Amy MacMahon has repeatedly slammed the major parties for accepting donations from the big end of town as she campaigns to wrest the seat off Labor’s Jackie Trad.
But Ms MacMahon yesterday struggled to explain why the Greens have also accepted such cash. Over three days in June last year, the Queensland Greens accepted four donations of $10,000 from four different companies linked to Victorian businessman, Ian Melrose. Each payment was below the Federal $13,200 donation disclosure threshold, so the amounts were not revealed through the Australian Electoral Commission, but were declared through Queensland’s lower $1000 threshold. = http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/state-election-2017/queensland-election-2017-greens-caught-accepting-corporate-donations/news-story/96d9805a511a97f3d30bf5f63b7e6add
