The Australian Labor government is reviewing a grant program implemented by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and could take away funding from related industry projects.

After it was revealed that the former prime minister secretly swore himself into five minister roles between 2020 and 2021, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Morrison had approved 17 projects as part of the Modern Manufacturing Initiative just before the federal election took place in May.
