I have been asking different people if they can answer this one question. All I want to know is a simple Yes or No and by whom? It is not meant to be a political mosh pit but would like an answer.
Q/Does the PM have to get support/OK before he promises money to anyone? and if so by whom?
Please don't go off into political rants etc.

How good is giving away someone else's money to make you look good
Someone must have voted for them, maybe they can answer what is so good about Scomo

Naughty Terry, you didn't answer the question, who mentioned a name?

I think the funds have to be proportioned (??) in the budget.
Then, the relevant departments can issue.
I think funding within the departments can be reassigned.

OK. I want to know if our PM can just tell trump that Australia will invest all that money for the moon / mars adventure off his own bat or does he have to have that put before a panel or something? Seems like he can just dish the dosh out.

It's far less than the (almost) half a billion dollars Turnbull gave to a group of 4 people who were worried about the Great Barrier Reef.
He did not refer that gift to anyone else at all.
