Column 1The Australian National Audit Office has found $100 million spent by the Morrison government shortly before the federal election was suspiciously directed at seats the Coalition was keen to win.
In a report released yesterday, the office found then-sports minister Bridget McKenzie disregarded the recommended recipients of Sport Australiaâ€™s Community Sports Infrastructure Grant program in favour of sporting organisations located within marginal and target seats. As the ABC reports, 73% of projects given funding in the third round were not recommended by Sport Australia.
McKenzieâ€™s office was quick to respond, saying â€œthe ANAO report is clear that no rules were brokenâ€. However, the ANAO is also questioning the legal authority the minister had to hand-pick grant recipients.
