Tony Abbott’s daughter Frances received a “chairman’s scholarship” for a degree costing more than $60,000 from the Whitehouse Institute of Design where an Abbott donor sits as chairman on the board of governors, Guardian Australia can reveal.

The revelation raises questions for the prime minister over whether the scholarship should have been declared on his interests register.

The Coalition government is also under pressure over changes to higher education funding announced in the budget.

Frances Abbott undertook a bachelor of design at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney from 2011 to 2013. Guardian Australia has confirmed that she received a scholarship during her time at the institute.

“Frances definitely was a student with us and received a chairman’s scholarship,” Leanne Whitehouse, director of the Institute told Guardian Australia. She declined to detail how many times the “chairman’s scholarship” has been awarded previously, but the institute’s website makes no references to the scholarship and states the institute “does not currently offer scholarships to gain a place into the Bachelor of Design”.

Yes, I can understand  the Uni's do pay the recipients of the scholarships or grants the actual money.

FA lived at home, in the same city as the College.. so only tuition fees to pay?

Maybe she needed a designer wardrobe for when she was accompanying her father before the election. 😄

Several different white outfits eh?

I see other photos around of her, with her sister & pa, and all 3 of them are colour cordinated in black.

all this present fuss and being indignant that anyone would have a 'go' at TA's daughters for perceived or not 'special' treatment...receiving scholarship gifts and special foriegn affairs envoy jobs for his daughters and donations to his party etc.....

TA quite openly paraded and used his daughters and family in his election campaign.

A very staged and scripted and well planned affair then and now he is upset once others see all his hypocrisy and dare to question him??

Culture of entitlement exposes rank hypocrisy

Now the Coalition is in government, it hasn't taken long for the skeletons in  its cupboard to come out. Senior figures, including Prime Minister Tony Abbott,  have been exposed for claiming expenses for  attending friends' or  acquaintances' weddings as ''official business''. No opposition ran harder on  themes of waste, excessive spending and rorts than did Mr Abbott's Coalition.  It's a standard game plan: identify areas of dubious government spending and fan  the public outrage. Now the Coalition has been hoist by its own petard....

 When Mr Abbott repaid nearly $9400 claimed in 2009 while promoting his own  book, his chief of staff said flights were ''inadvertently booked as official  travel''

The amounts may be petty cash in a $400 billion budget, but taxpayers rightly object to politicians who insist every cent of spending must be justified while dipping so freely into the public purse. No ordinary person would think  attending a friend's wedding could be a work-related duty.

Double standards through and through .....and through
