The Labor government has indicated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation that their funding could be reeled in should labor be voted in in the next election.

 

Whilst the Foundation receives funding from the Liberal Federal Government in April as a 444 Million Dollar commonwealth Grant, Labor has criticised this, saying the donation lacked transparency.

 

The Shadow environment minister Tony Burke has said he has found a way to reclaim any unspent money which would include any sub contracts or interest earned from the foundation.

 

Despite this, the foundation has stated they will continue to deliver its foundation obligations effectively and efficiently.
