Tasmanian Community Fund donated $557,800 from taxpayers to a 'Yes' campaign-linked organization, facing criticism for process inadequacy.

Tasmanian Community Fund (TCF) faces criticism for donating $557,800 in taxpayer funds to an organization linked to the "Yes" campaign of last year's Indigenous Voice referendum. The Tasmanian Audit Office found the grant did not align with a documented grants management framework, and the TCF's processes and decisions were deemed inadequate. State government plans to review TCF's governing legislation and legislate changes by year's end.
