"The day before the 2019 federal election, the Morrison Government gave
more than $15 million to one of its biggest political donors, from
funding set aside to alleviate grinding Aboriginal poverty.

Just three months earlier, that political donor – retail giant
Wesfarmers, at one time the wealthiest corporation in the country –
announced a record half-yearly profit of $4.5 billion.

The government grant came from through the controversial Indigenous
Advancement Strategy (IAS), the Morrison government’s main Aboriginal
affairs funding pool, which has been the subject of numerous controversies."

Via Muse, who wrote "Well, my boycott list just became longer."
