Canterbury leagues club has given millions to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs since 2014-15
One of Australia’s biggest poker machine venues has shifted more than $26m in gambling profits over eight years to its parent company – an NRL club – while claiming the payments as a community benefit for a tax cut.
The amount of money transferred to the NRL club was significantly larger than what was spent on non-affiliated local community groups under the scheme, according toClubGrants was, according to official guidelines, “designed to ensure that larger registered clubs in NSW contribute to the provision of frontline services to their local communities; and to ensure that the disadvantaged in the community are better positioned to benefit from the substantial contributions made by those clubs”.
“The ClubGrants scheme does not reflect 21st-century standards and expectations for a taxpayer funded grants program – it is a broken model and has been from the beginning,” said the Ncoss chief executive, Joanna Quilty.
