(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – If Australian UFO enthusiasts hope to retain government money, they may need more proof of terrestrial activity.
The nation’s Social Services Minister, Christian Porter, has described having “a beam me up, Scotty” moment after learning his department had approved grants to the Tuggerah Lakes UFO Group.
The group has received A$6,000 (£3,400; $4,500) since 2013 under funding to support volunteers with disabilities.
Mr. Porter has halted the payments to seek “more detail” about the group.
“I’m sure they are very nice people and there are lots of volunteers who are getting something out of it, but looking at it from my perspective, representing taxpayers, it did not seem to pass a common sense test,” Mr Porter said on the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
