Hopper & Anor v State of Victoria
[2026] HCA 11
Key Principle
A statutory cap on political donations that, through a 'nominated entity' exception, allows established political parties to receive donations exceeding the cap while denying the same advantage to others impermissibly burdens the implied freedom of political communication in the Commonwealth Constitution and is therefore invalid.
