“Records indicate no member of parliament conflict of interest declarations were received with respect to these grants,” a department spokesperson said late last week. In the latest round of grants, announced by Laming last week, Community Connections received $14,885 for the purchase of cinema equipment, while Redlands Coast Salad Bowl received a $5,000 grant for solar panels. This is in addition to a $10,000 grant received by Community Connections and an $11,500 grant received by Redlands Salad Bowl before the last election. According to information obtained from the Queensland Office of Fair Trading, the two organisations were both officially registered in August 2018 and they received the grants just four months later in the run-up to the 2019 federal election.
