Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull insists he has "no complaints" about the Exclusive Brethren, after reports emerged the Christian sect donated to the Liberal Party.

Mr Turnbull told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday religious groups were entitled to donate, while insisting the coalition was being "massively outspent" by Labor.
