Not good seeing this today.

The Federal Government has been called on to publicly explain its decision to award a multi-million-dollar contract to a company that has previously donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party.
Key points:

• Vocus won the $2.8 million contract late last year through a limited tender
• It was for a scoping study on the planned Pacific high-speed internet cable
• Vocus donated $44,000 to the Liberal Party in 2013 and $50,000 in 2016

Telecommunications company Vocus was last year awarded a $2.8 million contract to carry out a three-month scoping study on the planned undersea high-speed internet cable for Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.
Vocus donated $44,000 to the Liberal Party of Australia in 2013, and a further $50,000 in 2016.
