城中富豪力挺首富政客 砸钱捐助谭布尔选举经费


身家过亿的反对党领袖谭布尔(Malcolm Turnbull)不仅是澳洲政客中的首富,这位律师和投资银行家出身的悉尼东区议员,也获悉尼一班富豪捐钱力挺。

自2007年以来,澳洲的富人们已为谭布尔奉献了超过140万澳元的选举经费。

这位自由党党魁的筹款分支机构Wentworth Forum论坛,获电视七台董事长、传媒大亨Kerry Stokes、Westfield购物中心房产大王,全澳最富有的人之一Frank Lowy、前麦觉理银行老板Alan Moss,以及Aussie Home Loans房贷公司创办人John Symond捐款。

该论坛由谭布尔的老朋友自由党财务总监Michael Yabsley打理。它是2007年谭布尔成为霍华德总理的环境部长时设立,被认为是澳洲最精明的政治筹款机器。

要成这一论坛的成员,需要交5500澳元的费用,要成为它的创会成员,则需要交11,000澳元,要成为赞助人,需要付16,500澳元,要成为它的捐助人,则需要交25,500澳元,想当它的理事,更需要交55,000澳元。

一位理事可以主持以坛论名义进行的活动。它还主持两次大型的筹款会,谭保出席活动,并与捐政治献金多的支持者同桌用餐。

另据报道,虽然近期谭布尔在民意测验中声望仍持续低落,但他表示,他领导的自由党国家党联盟,仍能赢得下次联邦大选。

前天公布的News Poll民调显示,自由党国家党联盟的基本选票稍升二个百分点,为39%,而工党的基本选票稳定在43%。

如果这一结果保持到下次联邦大选,反对党仍会大败。
