The Greens will publish details of who has donated to the party and its candidates for the upcoming council elections and how much will be spent on each campaign two weeks before voters go to the September 10 poll.

NSW election funding laws say political parties and candidates do not have to disclose their reportable donations – those over $1000 – and expenditure details for the council elections until September next year.

But Greens MP David Shoebridge says the party will publish the details on August 30 – which is the first day of pre-polling – and is calling on other parties and candidates to do the same.

Mr Shoebridge acknowledged that while many donations to council campaigns are below the $1000 reporting threshold, the party would also publish cumulative figures for donations below $1000, although not donor names.
