Donor Declaration

Whenever someone donates to Tasmanian Labor they declare that they are not a foreign donor as defined within the meaning of the Electoral Disclosure and Funding Act 2023 (Tas), and the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.

A foreign donor can be any of the following:

• a body politic of a foreign country, or a part of a body politic
• a body politic of a part of a foreign country, or a part of a body politic
• a foreign public enterprise
• a person that does not meet one or more of the following conditions:
• a person who is not any of:
  • an elector
  • an Australian citizen
  • an Australian resident
  • a New Zealand citizen who holds a Subclass 444 (Special Category visa).

I understand that it is an offence to make a statement that I am not a foreign donor knowing it to be false, or being reckless as to whether it is false.

If you make a political donation of $1,000 or more, you must complete and lodge a declaration with the Tasmanian Electoral Commission in accordance with the Electoral Disclosure and Funding Act 2023. A Political donation includes any part of a fundraising contribution that is over $200 or any part of an annual or other subscription that is over $1,000, if the total amount of political donations made by you in respect of the same party (or associated entity), elected member, candidate, third-party campaigner or person in the same financial year, or in an election campaign period in respect of an election, is $1,000 or more. Penalties apply for failing to lodge a declaration as specified in this statement.

For any further information or questions regarding the Disclosure and Funding requirements, please contact the Tasmanian Electoral Commission.
