Tourism industry welcomes Auditor-General inquiry into Strategic Assets funding

From Checkpoint, 6:08 pm on 5 February 2021

The Auditor-General has announced an inquiry into a controversial tourism fund, which has paid out millions of dollars to more than a hundred operators.

The government's Strategic Tourism Assets Protection Programme has been criticised by many other operators who missed out on a slice of the almost $300 million that's been shelled out.

The Auditor-General says given the concerns that have been raised - and the amount of money involved - he'll run the ruler over the process.
