Malcolm Turnbull insists the Government's nearly half-a-billion-dollar donation to a private foundation with links to big resources companies has been done transparently, despite the body itself not asking for the money.

| The PM has called the donation "a wonderful investment in ensuring that we maintain the health of the Great Barrier Reef" |
In April the Government announced it would give the Great Barrier Reef Foundation $444 million to fund projects to improve the health of the reef.
The foundation had only six staff when it was told it was getting the huge grant, which managing director Anna Marsden told Radio National was an "absolute surprise”.
