Liberals working with Get Up! may be in breach of KYC rules-AUSTRAC investigation called for as a matter of urgency

by Ganesh Sahathevan

The following Liberal MPs worked  with Get Up! to pursue a public campaign of mutual interest.





Victorian Liberal Party division president Michael Kroger — who is non-factional with wide support from conservatives and several key moderates — told The Australian the organisational wing of the party was ­furious, following revelations backbench MPs Tim Wilson and Trent Zimmerman had met GetUp! over the same-sex marriage vote.



This may have been a perfectly acceptable political move, but it did expose them to the matter of Get Up!'s sources of funding. Get Up! has not been prepared to disclose its sources of funding,and may well be in breach of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules, Zimmerman and Wilson exposed themselves by being party to activities funded by that money.
The matter gets murkier when one takes into account recent revelations of foreign money  funding campaigns in Australia.
