Hey @M_McCormackMP

You're Minister for Regional Development, right?

So, that makes you responsible for 'Regional Development - Community Development Grants', right?

Well, I've got some questions for ya champ

Distancing himself from McKenzie's #sportsrorts scandal, MP for Forde @BertVanManen says a $100K grant to now-defunct Bethania Cricket Club came from your Community Development Grants

Cricket Club gets $100K then folds, where did the grant money go? Was it returned?

And, another thing

Here's Bert just a few weeks before the last federal election with the big novelty cheque (dated 18/4/2019), he posted about it on Facebook April 23, 2019 with pics of him handing over $100K to the club (that folded shortly afterwards)

So, my next question to you @M_McCormackMP

How could @BertVanManen hand over $100K BEFORE the May election when your Dept DID NOT APPROVE the grant until the 30th July 2019?

How would Bert know 3 months in advance that the $100K grant would be approved?
