Constitutional expert accuses Albanese of 'grey corruption' over $6m golf club grant
Original: "A leading constitutional expert has accused Anthony Albanese of indulging in “grey corruption” over a $6m grant gifted
Anne Twomey, professor emerita of constitutional law at the University of Sydney, has accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of 'grey corruption' over a $6 million grant awarded to a golf club in his electorate. She described the scheme under which the funding was handed out as a 'farce' and submitted a formal complaint. The criticism has drawn attention to how taxpayer grants are distributed to projects in MPs' own seats.
Why now: A respected constitutional law expert publicly accusing the Australian prime minister of corruption is fresh and damaging news for the government.
