LABOR'S Queensland branch received a $2200 donation from Australian Water Holdings during the 2010 federal election campaign.

The infrastructure company is at the centre of a NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry into alleged improper dealings involving former NSW state politicians and the state-owned Sydney Water.

The Liberal party has begun the process of paying back donations received from AWH dating back to 2009.

One of the Liberal bodies that has already refunded money is a fundraising group in Treasurer Joe Hockey's North Sydney electorate, which to date has paid back $33,000.

A search of Australian Electoral Commission records shows the ALP's Queensland branch received a donation from AWH of $2200 on July 15, 2010, during the federal election campaign.

ICAC heard on Monday the infrastructure company disguised political donations and other expenses as administration costs and charged them back to Sydney Water.

The inquiry heard that Sydney Water had "unwillingly, unknowingly been a principle donor to the Liberal Party".

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told reporters in Melbourne on Friday there were clear laws for campaign funding in Australia.

"The laws have got to be adhered to. Full stop. No excuses. No exceptions," Mr Shorten said.
