A Wollongong city councillor is calling for an end to all political donations from corporations.
Independent councillor Andrew Anthony says he supports the Greens’ calls to ban donations because they can result in companies having undue influence on politicians.
Cr Anthony says he is particularly concerned about donations from the property development and real estate sectors.
“Ideally it would be great to ban all political donations from all corporations, but those two particular areas I think are just the people that are set to benefit from giving donations, particularly to local council,” he said.
