A company owned by Queensland MP Bob Katterâs relatives was awarded a $12 million grant by the Industry Department in the same round in which most other projects received $22,000.
CopperString 2.0, a business that wants to construct an 1100-kilometre power line across northern Queensland, was approved for the grant by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources on February 22, according to public filings.
Mr Katterâs brother-in-law, John OâBrien, nephew, Joseph OâBrien, and his wife, Sarah Fairfax, own CopperString, which received $12 million in government funding.Â
