Gina Rinehart's company, Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd, was behind a $150,000 payment to the Liberal Party, transferred via a third party, and not declared by the mining giant by the November 17, 2022 deadline.
The Liberal Party formally acknowledged it received a total of $144,000 from the mining club, but Sydney Mining Club has not declared the payments. Experts say the transactions expose a possible "loophole" in the laws covering political donations. "Julian was very clear that the money was coming from Hancock and it was to be passed on directly to the Liberal Party. It wasn't that it was coming in sort of discretionary, to be spent, you know, as the mining club saw fit."
In November last year, Hancock Prospecting officially declared $24,500 worth of donations to the South Australian division of the Liberal Party.
"We are [a] member of the Australian Business Network which is run by the Liberal Party," Mr Malnic wrote.
