Australia seems to be deeply corrupt.

Until 2019 Richard was the chair of MFS...MFS has been the recipient of numerous state and federal grants, totalling well over $800,000.”

The CUC is chaired by Duncan Taylor, the husband of Bronnie Taylor. The organisation received two grants of $8m from the state government plus $5.1m from the federal government.”
> “In the federal parliament the Senate has asked questions about an $80m water buyback from Eastern Australian Agriculture, which was co-founded by Angus Taylor prior to entering parliament.”
How does this relates to coral reefs? [5] [6]
