Embattled Industry, Science and Technology Minister Christian Porter’s office has been left scrambling to smooth over a funding bungle that left thousands of Australian female entrepreneurs disappointed when they were told they had successfully applied for government grants, only to receive an email hours later retracting the money.
About 1800 business owners were sent a correction email by the Department of Industry, saying their expression of interest application to the Boosting Female Founders Initiative grant was ultimately unsuccessful, despite them receiving a congratulatory acceptance email from Mr Porter’s department six hours earlier.
