A slap on the wrists! During question time on 28 November last year, Minister, you responded to my question on the fact that the EDO was engaging in claim farming and was exploiting consultation processes by saying that, if it was the case:

… they should be brought to the attention of the legislature and the executive.

Minister, the legislature was bypassed in the approval of funding for this organisation and the judiciary has slammed, as you've just mentioned, the EDO's dreadfully unethical practices. So I ask the executive, through you: will the government now cease funding this terrible organisation?
