Gas corporation Tamboran Resources who want to open up the Beetaloo basin, which will be a climate bomb, donated $200,000 to both big parties in 2021-22. In that same financial year, Tamboran received a grant of $7½ million of public money for natural gas exploration at the Beetaloo. The Greens attempted to disallow that, but both big parties backed it in. When will the government end the perception of being for sale by banning political donations from organisations seeking government grants? (Time expired)
