Labor zeros in on reef funding injection

A half-billion dollar grant awarded to a small Great Barrier Reef foundation is bound to dominate debate when federal politicians return to work after their winter break.

Labor senator Kristina Keneally is leading the charge against the Turnbull government over the $444 million taxpayer-funded funding injection to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
