The release of the 2016 federal election disclosure returns this week highlights the need for political donation reform.
The Australian Electoral Commission published the returns on its website this week and Shayne Neumann said local people have made it clear they want greater transparency.
"It is time for Malcolm Turnbull to listen to the public and undertake much-needed political donation reform," Mr Neumann said.
"I have disclosed every donation over 13,200 or more. Quite frankly, the public expects more."
Mr Neumann said the Labor Party had been the party of action when it comes to political donation reform.
"It was Labor under the Hawke Government that set a disclosure threshold for political donations of 10,000 in 2006 and indexed it to the Consumer Price Index, which has seen the threshold blow out to 13,200 (indexed to inflation) to a fixed 50.
Link public funding to campaign expenditure.
Introduce new offences and increased penalties for abuses of the political donation disclosure regime.
"In contrast, the Liberal party has been responsible for an increased disclosure threshold and reduced transparency.
"It is time for Malcolm Turnbull to show some leadership and ensure that his party supports these important measures designed to improve the political donations system and public confidence in its integrity."
