Victoria's proposed campaign finance legislation, introduced by the Labor party, aims to address the issues raised by the High Court's April ruling that invalidated previous donation laws. The new laws could allow both Labor and the Coalition to escape repaying donations from their investment vehicles if those funds have already been utilized. According to the draft legislation, any payments exceeding the $10,000 cap received since July 1, 2023, must be returned by November 28, 2023, unless they have been spent. This poses enforcement challenges as funds from investment entities are mixed with other donations. Moreover, the legislation proposes a new donation cap of $10,000 per electoral cycle, double the previous limit, and a special cap of $5,030 for donations made between April 15 and the election date. Concerns have been raised regarding the potential for these laws to disproportionately benefit incumbent parties through increased public funding. An expert review of the donation laws is also included, which will explore alternative funding models. The Coalition and Greens have expressed skepticism regarding the effectiveness and fairness of the proposed changes.
