According to the NSW Council of Social Service (NCOSS), the government of New South Wales should stop a grants scheme, which is funded by the profits of poker machines. The NSW’s utmost authority for welfare services withdrew its support to ClubGrants, one of Australia’s largest grant programs.
NCOSS wants to put an end to its 24-year collaboration with ClubGrants because a review identified that the grants scheme, which provided more than $1 billion, was defective, full of opportunities for conflict of interest, and failed to apply the respective rules.
