I should've clarified, I was meaning in the context of Australian politics. A lot of Australian tech companies actually ban political donations as part of their anti-bribery and corruption policies.

If you look at donation data from the Australian Electoral Commission, there are no donations from tech companies [1]. The majority of donations are from banks, property developers, and mining companies.
