Queensland Premier defends LNP donation from Hamilton developer
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has defended a $100,000 donation made to the Liberal National Party (LNP) by a family trust linked to the Lancini Property Group. The donation follows the state government's decision to grant the developer rights to transform land at Hamilton on Brisbane's north shore.
The site, previously designated for the Olympic Athletes Village by the former Labor government, is now slated for development including 13 luxury towers, a business hub, and 1,500 apartments. Lancini Property Group is one of five companies selected for the Hamilton Northshore project.
Laurence Lancini, chairman of the group, serves on the Games Independent Infrastructure and Co-ordination Authority Board, which recommended the site for development. Tomas Lancini, the group's chief executive, stated the donation was intended to support the party driving Queensland's growth. Premier Crisafulli maintained that the donation was transparent and followed correct processes.
