The fossil fuel industry continues to bankroll the election campaigns of Australian political parties, fresh data from the Australian Electoral Commission has revealed.

The sector donated $1,894,024 to political campaigns before last year’s election - with Woodside, Adani and gas lobby group APPEA, among the biggest donors.

The Coalition received the most from the fossil fuel industry, receiving $1,147,376, while Labor took in $725,448. "If you want to have people's voices represented in this place, we've got to get donations reform - we haven't made enough progress on that."The United Australia Party also has an $8.2 million debt to Google and owes a further $600,000 to IPG Marketing Solutions.The Centre for Public Integrity warned because of this vast amounts of money potentially influencing the election would not be disclosed to the public.
