Bridget McKenzie’s controversial $100m sports grants program may be unconstitutional because the federal government lacks power to hand out money to sports clubs, a leading constitutional academic has warned.
Anne Twomey, a professor at the University of Sydney, issued the warning on Tuesday after Scott Morrison asked the attorney general to “clarify” and “address” legal issues with the program which the auditor general found was skewed towards marginal seats.
