Donate

If you would like to help us fight for a different kind of political leadership in Monash you can do that by financially supporting us here.

Thanks! 

We believe that you should be able to see who is donating to election candidates in real time, so you can make a decision about whether they are influenced by outside sources. 

The major parties are fighting against legislation introduced by community independents to disclose donations in real time. However you can see here major donations from previous elections. Pay particular attention to corporations that donated to both Labor and Liberal/National parties in the same election, and ask yourself why they would do this! 

We ask all donors to agree for us to disclose their name and donation amount on our website. If you are not comfortable doing this, you can opt out, and the amount of your donation will appear anonymously. 

If you would like to make a direct deposit, please contact [email protected] for details. 

You can see our list of donors, which is updated regularly, here. By law, details of any donations over $16,300 must be disclosed after the election.

Please refer to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website for more details. 

  • Foreign Donors: You are not permitted to make, and Deb is not permitted to receive, a donation of more than $100 from a foreign donor. If you are uncertain as to whether you are a foreign donor within the meaning of Australian legislation, please check the AEC guide.  

    You warrant that you are not a foreign donor by selecting the relevant box when making a donation over $100 on this website. 

 

  • AEC Disclosure Threshold: There are (currently) no caps on political donations under Commonwealth electoral laws. However donations in any given financial year must be disclosed to the AEC, and the AEC will publish those names and amounts when the aggregated amount exceeds the donation threshold. The threshold for the financial year 2025 is $16,900.

    Individuals whose donations exceed the annual threshold in FY25 will also need to lodge a donor disclosure after an election, which we will notify you about at the time. The form is simple and we can help as needed.

 

  • Donations are not tax deductible at this time.
