Adani donated more than $600,000 to the Liberal National party of Queensland before the 2024 state election, making it the party’s largest single federal donor. All up, the company gave the party $621,500 in 10 instalments during the 2024-25 federal reporting period. Greens state MP Michael Berkman said the party had “exploit[ed] a gaping loophole in our donation laws”. Moore said the company had used a “massive loophole” to prevent the public from being made aware of the donations in the run-up to the state election. A spokesperson for Bravus Mining and Resources said it had “met our donations disclosure obligations in line with the law”.
