'Lack of detail' found in Great Barrier Reef foundation grant | Sky News AustraliaIn a new report, the Auditor-General said the department’s advice that led to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation’s $443 million grant lacked detail on criteria and desired outcomes.\n\nThe Foundation was given the controversial funds by the Turnbull Government last year without soliciting it or going through a competitive tender process.\n\nOpposition leader Bill Shorten said the findings are scandalous and that the process was not best practice by former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, then Treasurer Scott Morrison and then Minister for the Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg. KKeneally I agree but give the money to our farmers 😃👏👏👏👍 KKeneally What absolute RUBBISH Kristine Keneally - it was your/Labor’s/MEDIAS boy Malcom Turnbull who is responsible for this due to his wife Lucy’s connections 👎 Keep trying to absolve him & place blame on current ministers - Get this unelected failed ex Premier bimbo off 😡newsday KKeneally And Labor and media STILL can’t understand why Turnbull (and his wife Lucy) was ditched newsday The Great Barrier Reef grant was ENTIRELY Turnbulls captains call 👎

Legal challenge to Great Barrier Reef shark cullHumane Society International will push for the removal of the 173 lethal drumlines installed in the world heritage-listed marine park. We’ve culled off all the coral so why not cull off all the marine life too? Perhaps TurnbullMalcolm & his $500 million friends will be able to spend some of that cash to speed this along?

Audit finds there was no clear criteria for $444 million reef grantAn audit has found the $444 million grant made to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation didn't come with enough detail about what it should be used to achieve. They started on Friday... Sacriligous disrespect for the VOTERS in allowing this GRANT without proper investigation!! How many pensioners/Unemployed etc. lost their monies too pay for this FIASCO!! Reverse this fraudulent scam and charge the LNP with Corporate Fraud. Apparently according to Waffles, ScoMo was up to ears 👂 in this scam. This is an obscene disgrace and bit like Waffle’s $10M rain making scam. Turnbull should never be allowed near taxpayer funds.
