Pauline Hanson Snags $27 Million Grant After Govt Mistakes Her For ‘National Imams Council’ Rep

In a bureaucratic mix-up, Pauline Hanson reportedly walked off with a $27 million government grant after officials confused her with a representative of the “National Imams Council”—a council she could never formally join.
The confusion comes weeks after the Albanese government quietly handed $27 million to an Islamic council whose top cleric had urged Muslims to fund and fight in a “jihad” against Israel. The cash came via a closed, no-competition grant under the so-called “Security Uplifts” program.
