NSW: Della Bosca defends grant payments
New South Wales Industrial Relations Minister JOHN DELLA BOSCA is defending grants
by agencies within his portfolio.
He says all payments have been independently audited .. and none have returned as political
donations.
Fairfax reports agencies run by Mr DELLA BOSCA have given more than 700-thousand dollars
to the Transport Workers Union .. and to a union-run organisation chaired by a friend
of the minister.
Fairfax says the grants were made over the past six years .. when the TWU made donations
of almost 750-thousand dollars to the Labor Party.
Mr DELLA BOSCA says all the funds distributed by the government have been spent on
specific projects .. and he was not involved in assessing the applications for money.
None of the funds paid to organisations can be used for political donations.
