CANBERRA， July 15 (Xinhua) -- Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull donated one million Australian dollars (750，000 U.S dollars) to his own political party during the marathon eight-week federal election campaign， local media revealed on Friday.
News Corp reported that the prime minister dove into his own pockets to help fund the campaign， as his party was struggling to pay for television ads over the course of one of the longest campaigns in Australia's history.
The donation was kept a secret from the public， with only the Liberal Party's federal director and federal treasurer knowing about the donation， while it was said to be a donation and not a loan.
The unprecedented sum of money was used to fund advertising in the back half of the election， and came about after it was revealed the Liberals were struggling to match the air time bought by the opposition Labor Party - which is union funded.
Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer said any donations were willingly made by the prime minister， while a spokesperson for the prime minister's office told News Corp that "donations to the Liberal Party are disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the Electoral Act."
While the Turnbull office did not confirm nor deny the payment， all donations to political parties in the lead-up to the election will be made public in February next near.
Labor's Transport spokesperson Anthony Albanese told the Nine Network on Friday that it would be nice to have someone with a "lazy million dollars" to help boost Labor's efforts at the election.
"I wish we had someone who had a lazy million dollars sitting in the corner that could just plonk into the campaign. We don't have it，" Albanese said on Friday.
It's not unusual for large donations to filter through to political parties from high-profile supporters， but a personal donation from a prime minister is considered unprecedented.
One source within the Liberal Party told News Corp the coalition's lacklustre fundraising effort was exacerbated by the effect of its poor superannuation policy.
The source said that retirees， who usually donate to political parties， decided not to in order to send a message.
"To say (the super policy) had no impact is ludicrous. Donations dried up， there was tremendous anger，" the source said.
The election was decided eight days after voters went to the polls， with the opposition Labor Party forcing a much closer contest than was first anticipated.

CANBERRA， June 1 (Xinhua) -- The Australian government should ban alcohol sponsorship in sport， introduce higher alcohol taxes and mandate "lockout laws" to reduce alcohol-related harm， the nation's largest not-for-profit health provider has said.
St Vincent's Health Australia has released its health "wish list" ahead of the 2016 federal election， and has urged both major political parties to seriously consider wider-ranging in an effort to reduce alcohol-related harm by 20 percent by 2025.
The organization's CEO， Toby Hall， told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Wednesday too much taxpayer money was being wasted on caring for alcohol-affected people in hospitals， and urged both sides of government to funnel the hundreds of millions of dollars into prevention instead.
"You've got 157，000 people every year going into hospital， you've got around 60 percent of crime in Australia related to alcohol， (and) nearly a billion dollars spent on putting people into hospital because of alcohol，" Hall said.
He said by reducing alcohol-related harm by 20 percent over the next decade， there would be up to 30，000 fewer hospital admissions every year， while there would also be three fewer deaths related to alcohol per day.
Hall also called for alcohol sponsorship in sport to be banned， as impressionable children were subconsciously associating alcohol with their heroes and favorite teams.
"We see major sporting teams， including our national cricket team， our State of Origin teams， and our national rugby team， with sponsorships relating to alcohol，" Hall said.
