State Opposition: Mr Barilaro and Question Time

state opposition: Just more than 24 hours after he became the leader of the Nationals in New South Wales, the State Opposition referred to documents in Question Time showing Mr Barilaro wife Deanna donated to the National Party for three years in a row, despite being the director of two property development firms that Mr Barilaro himself had previously run, according to Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Political donations from property developers have been banned in NSW since 2010.

Mr Barilaro was listed as a recipient of some of those donations on disclosure forms. Mr Barilaro lists the principal objects of the two companies on his own parliamentary pecuniary interests forms as property investment/development . Disclosures of political donations returns for the 2013 14 financial year show Deanna Barilaro then donated 1,950 to the NSW Nationals. The documents show that in 2012, after Mr Barilaro was elected to Parliament, he resigned as director of two firms, Kotsabola Group and Euro Partners, and his wife Deanna was appointed director.
