THE Australian Hotels Association has frozen all political donations in a move that increases pressure on the Premier, Morris Iemma, to carry through his proposal to ban all donations.

The association's new president, Scott Leach, and his executive have decided to implement the freeze after a decade in which it gave close to $1 million to NSW Labor.

Mr Leach, 36, who was elected a fortnight ago, said the move was part of a review of how the association operated.

"Political donations made by the AHA are under review - we've pressed the pause button," he said yesterday. "We fully support the Premier's changes."

The Herald revealed last month that Mr Iemma had instructed the ALP's state secretary, Karl Bitar, to consult other parties about banning all donations. Mr Iemma indicated it was "time … [for] us to now seriously consider moving away from donations and having a fully public-funded system".
