PM hypocrite on political donors: Dreyfus

Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus says Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is all-talk, no-action on political donation reform.

Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus says the prime minister is hypocrite and "all-talk, no-action" on reining in political donations.

Mr Dreyfus believes Malcolm Turnbull's preference to ban all corporations and unions from donating - which has been ruled unconstitutional by the High Court - would limit donors to "very wealthy individuals like himself".

"I call on him to sit down with Labor as soon as he gets back to Australia and we can get somewhere on donations reform," he told ABC on Thursday.
