Segal hands $200k antisemitism contract to Morrison's former adviser — no tender, no competition, no surprise

Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal awarded a $200,000 contract to a firm founded by Scott Morrison's former adviser Yaron Finkelstein without going to public tender, citing 'an absence of competition'.

Limited tender 'due to an absence of competition' — the four most expensive words in Canberra. Two hundred grand to a Morrison staffer to advise the antisemitism envoy, no contest, no questions. The job market for mates is the only one in the country still running at full employment.
