The Electoral Act 2002 (Vic) prohibits non-citizens from making political donations unless they are permanent residents. By attending this event and/or making any donation, you confirm and declare that you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident. A receipt will be issued to you/your organisation to identify the donation amount. For any donation of $1,240 or greater, you understand that you/your organisation must disclose the donation to VEC Disclosures within 21 days of making the donation. There is a $4,970 general cap on political donations from any one donor to Victorian Labor in an election period (typically the four years between regular State elections). You or your organisation may be fined if you do not comply with the disclosure requirement. If you or your organisation make a political donation that is prohibited by the Electoral Act 2002 (Vic) and the recipient accepts the donation, it must be forfeited to the State. If you knowingly make a foreign donation, an anonymous donation of $1,240 or more, or a donation above the $4,970 general cap, you or your organisation may be fined up to 300 penalty units, imprisoned for up to two years, or (as an individual) both; and, it is an offence to enter into or carry out a scheme with the aim of circumventing a law regarding political donations or disclosures under the Electoral Act 2002. The penalty for this offence is up to 10 years’ imprisonment.
