My question is to the Prime Minister. Federal grants are integral to every electorate's community groups. Recent media reports are that a staffer of the former member for Fowler had been given nearly $40,000 in three rounds of grants for an organisation based outside the electorate. Given that the staffer did not disclose a conflict of interest to the selection committee, local communities groups have now raised concerns. What steps will the government take to investigate the matter, to restore integrity and transparency in the grants process?
