"This inquiry ... was established on 2 December 2004 following allegations raised in parliament and the media about the misuse of the programs in the lead up to the 2004 federal election. Concerns raised included allegations of serious impropriety in the approval and announcement of several grants, and the discovery that certain procedures governing the administration of the programs had been concealed from public view. Allegations were also made by a member of the House of Representatives that political conditions were placed on several grants made under the Regional Partnerships Program."--Executive summary |

"The Committee examined in detail the circumstances surrounding the application, assessment, approval and announcement of RPP grants for the following six projects: The Beaudesert Rail heritage railway; Dredging at Tumbi Creek; Primary Energy Pty Ltd's grains to ethanol plant proposal; A2 Dairy Marketers' milk processing plant proposal; The Australian Equine and Livestock Centre; and The University of New England National Centre of Science, Information and Communication Technology, and Mathematics Education for Rural and Regional Australia."--p. xii |
