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.

That's why they get favours and subsidies. 9NewsAUS 7NewsAustralia
