8. Is there a ban on anonymous donations to candidates?

Section 207I(1), Electoral Act 1993, (amended 2023)
If an anonymous candidate donation is received by a candidate, the candidate must, within 20 working days, pay to the Electoral Commission - (a) the amount of the donation, or its value, less $50, if the candidate believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect the donor is an overseas person; and the donation exceeds $50; or (b) the amount of the donation, or its value, less $1,500, if the candidate does not have reasonable grounds to suspect the donor is an overseas person; and the donation exceeds $1,500. 

There is no ban, but there is a limit on anonymous donations.
