Been a bit of a scandal here in Australia with our previous Federal Government.

Things would go out for a tender process. An independent body would rate which groups, companies, etc had the best bids. The government then almost every time went against that advice and gave it to people, companies, etc that hadn’t been part of the tender process, or had been discounted as useless by the process, and gave it to them instead.

Why?

Political donors, family and friends, etc. You had people, companies, etc that had never managed anything previously being given hundreds of millions of taxpayer money and then did nothing with it……… except I assume siphon off some of it.
