* Liberal ministers have raised more than $1 million in donations via shadowy entities.

* The new president of the Australian Medical Association has stepped straight into the political fray, siding with Labor's stance to end the six-year freeze on the Medicare rebate for doctors and calling it "unfair and wrong".
