AGL Fined For Failing Disclose Political Donations

BY IAN CROUCH

AGL and one of its subsidiaries has been fined $124,000 by the Land and Environment Court.

It comes after they failed to disclose political donations when making planning applications for a Newcastle gas storage facility.

The fines have been imposed following an investigation into complaints by community groups.

It's the largest penalty imposed since provisions were first introduced nine years ago.
