This article breaks down the donations flowing to Australian political parties leading up to the 2025 election. Data analysis reveals that donors have contributed a record-breaking $131 million in disclosed funds so far. These contributions came from a variety of sources, including fossil fuel and mining companies, tech giants, gambling firms, and hospitality groups. Major individual backers included mining billionaire Clive Palmer and Gina Rinehart's company, Hancock Prospecting. However, the true source of more than $138 million remains a mystery because of disclosure thresholds, which are legal loopholes that allow donors to stay anonymous if their contribution falls below a certain dollar amount.
