Does Santos want something in return for its donations?

We must get dirty money out of our democracy.
Fossil fuels and politics
"Despite calls from the crossbench during debate on the foreign integrity laws, the major parties refused to entertain changes to either the donation threshold or the timeliness of disclosures." ABC


Meanwhile regional anti gas well campaigners carry on their struggle against polluting corporations like Santos.

Labor proves itself untrustworthy when it comes to climate action often preferring mining corporations to preventing climate catastrophe.

"They donate for a reason. In return for their donations, property developers, big banks, gambling corporations and mining giants have received billions of dollars worth of favourable policy decisions from Liberal and Labor governments. While the major parties continue to take money from big corporate interests, they will never be completely focused on what is good for our communities."
