<p class="speaker">Larissa Waters</p><p>I, and on behalf of Senator Hanson-Young, move:</p><p>That the Senate—</p>- Larissa Waters (Queensland, Australian Greens) on behalf of Senator Hanson-Young (South Australia, Australian Greens) moved a motion that the senate:
- noted that:
- (i) a study published last week by the Drug and Alcohol Review found that, in a 10-year period, a total of $7 million was gifted to the Liberal and Labor parties by alcohol interests, $2 million by gambling businesses and $1 million from tobacco,
- (ii) the study found that gambling, alcohol and tobacco industry donations peaked both before elections and during parliamentary debates about policy that directly affect their bottom line, and
- (iii) this study quotes an ex-politician stating that 'If someone donates $1000, they support you. If they donate $100,000, they've bought you"; and
- and called on the Federal Government to:
- (i) ban donations from the property development, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, defence (sic), pharmaceutical, banking, and mining industries, and
- (ii) cap all other donations to $1000 per year.
- Note: this is my first attempt summarise a division so feedback is welcomed.
<p class="italic">(a) notes that:</p><p class="italic">(i) a study published last week by the Drug and Alcohol Review found that, in a 10-year period, a total of $7 million was gifted to the Liberal and Labor parties by alcohol interests, $2 million by gambling businesses and $1 million from tobacco,</p><p class="italic">(ii) the study found that gambling, alcohol and tobacco industry donations peaked both before elections and during parliamentary debates about policy that directly affect their bottom line, and</p><p class="italic">(iii) this study quotes an ex-politician stating that 'If someone donates $1000, they support you.

Just this month, when an actual donation bill was before the chamber, the Greens again failed to engage constructively with the policy debate. They chose instead to grandstand for their Facebook videos. The opposition voluntarily refuses foreign donations and donations from tobacco companies, yet the Greens were quite happy to take a $1.6 million donation from a single corporate donor and accept half a million dollars from a professional gambler being investigated by the ATO for tax fraud. The Senate grows tired of stunts from the Greens on donation reform. The Senate grows tired of their hypocrisy on issue after issue, and, given the recent election results, so do the voting public.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question is that the general business notice of motion No. 1280, standing in the names of Senators Waters and Hanson-Young, be agreed to.</p>
