Final decision in sport grant program recieved after election was called

A Senate inquiry has heard the final funding decisions from a controversial sports grant program were received by Sport Australia just minutes after last year's election was called. The email from the former sport minister Bridget McKenzie’s office was received at 8:46am on the morning of April 11 – despite the government going into caretaker mode just 16 minutes earlier. The communication outlined a “further updated copy” of the spreadsheet which identified projects to be approved in the final round of funding. Sport Australia Chief Operating Office Luke McCann told the senate inquiry he was not aware of the fact the government was in caretaker mode.
