Adani donated more than $600,000 to Queensland’s Liberal National Party (LNP) before the 2024 state election. This made Adani the party’s largest single federal donor. However, the donations were not disclosed for a whole year. The Greens blamed a loophole in federal election funding laws. This loophole lets big donors avoid real-time reporting. Queensland law demands “real time disclosure” of donations, usually within seven days, and within 24 hours if given a week before voting day. Most money came in three big donations: $166,667 on August 13 and September 19, $166,666 and $100,000 in late October—just before the October 26 election. Adani also made smaller donations before the May 2025 federal election. Overall, the company gave $621,500 in 10 payments during the 2024-25 federal reporting period. The donations were revealed only on February 2, 2026, but not through state disclosure systems. These four contributions rank among the top five largest given to the party in that period. Greens MP Michael Berkman said the LNP “exploit[ed] a gaping loophole in our donation laws,” calling it unfair to voters. He added, “If this isn’t an argument for banning corporate donations, like the Greens have been calling for, then I don’t know what is.” Transparency International Australia’s chief Clancy Moore said federal law demands donations be used only for federal purposes. But giving big sums days before a state poll could free up other funds. He called it a “massive loophole” that hid donations from Queensland voters. The donations were made to the LNP under sections 302CA and 314B of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. New federal laws starting in July 2026 will require faster donation disclosures. An LNP spokesman insisted the party “complied with all disclosure requirements.” Bravus Mining and Resources, formerly Adani Mining, said it followed all laws and also supports other parties to back democracy. The LNP and Adani (now Bravus) recently ended a long legal fight over mining royalty payments, which former treasurer Cameron Dick claimed would give the company a “financial windfall of at least $500m.” Details remain largely confidential. Donations were logged under the name “Adani Mining Pty Ltd,” before the company’s rebranding in 2020.
