Doubts have been raised about commitments made during the election campaign by former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce who wrote to the treasurer shortly after the election about two projects that he said were pledged under the Community Development Grants program.

The Community Development Grants program was established by the Coalition in 2013 to fund their election commitments.

The closed, non-competitive fund had total funding of just over $3.2bn as of March 2022, with 1,366 projects contracted, 300 under way and 102 not yet commenced.
