| HUNDREDS of individuals and businesses who donated to NSW political parties risk fines of up to $11,000 for failing to declare their gifts, some of which were made more than five years ago.
The NSW Election Funding Authority has sent letters to more than 800 donors it believes have each donated more than $1500 to political parties before last year's state election to find out why they have not told it about the gifts.
In a move aimed at stepping up pressure on donors, the authority has asked the Crown Solicitor for advice on whether it should take legal action against those who have failed to reveal their gifts.
