John Curtin House Limited

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Curtin House Limited is a Canberra based holding company fully owned by the Australian Labor Party.

In 2002-2003, John Curtin House gave $1,235,000 to the Australian Labor Party, making it the ALP's single largest donor.[1]

From 1992-2005, John Curtin House Limited was involved in a controversial scheme where the Australian National Audit Office paid above-market rent for premises at Centenary House, at a profit to the Labor Party.[2]

Critics say John Curtin House Limited exists as a front to hide the identities of donors to the Australian Labor Party.[3]
