"Analysis of newly published political donation data details how the fossil
fuel industry is aligning its vast financial support behind the Peter
Dutton-led Coalition, ahead of another federal election fight over the future
of Australian climate policy and the Coalition’s embrace of coal, gas and
nuclear.
Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission published the political donation
disclosures for the 2023-24 financial year. Analysis of the data shows how, in
the midst of a global climate crisis, vast amounts of money flowed from fossil
fuel companies and into the coffers of the major political parties.
Australia’s fossil fuel industry giants: including Woodside, Santos, Chevron
and Adani were joined by several of the industry’s major lobby groups in
gifting a combined $3.8 million to Labor, Liberals and the Nationals parties,
and their fundraising vehicles.
The Peter Dutton-led Coalition was, by far, the largest beneficiary of fossil
fuel funding."
