Subscriber only The environmental charity, controversially handed $444m of taxpayer money to protect the reef, has been sued by the daughter of land rights campaigner Eddie Mabo over a failed $1m contract for event coordination. Gail Mabo and colleague Joanne Margaret Keune, who ran business Speak Eze, have sued the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF) in the District Court in Townsville alleging that they planned for a three-day Indigenous event between July and September last year but that two weeks after they sent their invoice for the first payment tranche the GBRF repudiated the contract.
