A mystery foundation established just over a year ago by a businessman with connections to the Governor-General has had its federal funding scrapped.
Government sources have told the ABC that the Australian Future Leaders Foundation will no longer receive millions of dollars promised by the former Coalition government.
The foundation, which had never run a leadership program and had no website or staff, was granted $18 million dollars in the Morrison government’s March Budget.
The budget papers stated that money would be provided over five years, and the foundation would then receive $4 million per year after that.
Governor-General David Hurley supported the foundation, and spoke to former PM Scott Morrison several times across 2020 and 2021 before the funding was awarded.
Questions had been raised about why a foundation with no record of running leadership programs was awarded the cash with no competitive grants process.
Does that sound a little lacking in supporting detail about the worth of the program?

This is called “mates rates”. As long as the receiving people support the government the money will flow. How many more of these “grants” has flown under the radar?

That’s the reason I really hate the LIBERALS here and in any part of this world. They pretend to be a good leader and citizen but they are the worst corrupt politicians of all time in this “f=====ng world
