As independent Zoe Daniel’s campaign clicks over $1 million, not all the Goldstein campaign cash is on the table. auspol AusVotes2022
Leading independent candidate for the seat of Goldstein, Zoe Daniel, has raised $1.11 million to fund her campaign, but has not fully disclosed the source of the funds, saying to do so would disadvantage her campaign.
Daniel says that to require disclosure of all donations would disadvantage her campaign. “We’re doing things within the letter of the law,” she toldOn this count, both the Victorian Greens and the federal branch of the ALP, who disclose all donations over $1000, are more transparent than both main Goldstein candidates.Credit:Daniel’s biggest donor, with a contribution of almost $460,000 is fundraising body Climate 200, convened by clean energy investor, Simon Holmes a Court.
An important financial contributor to the Liberals in Goldstein is the fundraising body, the Bayside Forum. In the financial year 2020-2021 it raised more than $127,400 but disclosed no individual donors to the Australian Electoral Commission . Last week Daniel officially launched her campaign before about 1000 supporters on the playing field also at the Trevor Barker reserve. She then retreated to a private lunch for donors and others at a function room.Both teams have also confirmed that their candidates have attended fundraising events in private homes in well-to-do Goldstein. But neither would provide information about such gatherings or what was discussed with donors.
