Constitutional expert accuses Anthony Albanese of ‘grey corruption’ over golf club grant

Key points

• A constitutional expert has labelled a $6 million grant to a golf club in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s electorate as “grey corruption”. Anne Twomey, a University of Sydney professor emerita, submitted the assessment to a Senate inquiry.
• The grant was awarded under a closed, non-competitive process last July.
• Twomey described the scheme as a “farce” and said the funding was a misuse of public money.
