The creator questions why a profitable media company with highly paid executives is receiving taxpayer money, suggesting it's used for questionable purposes like funding political trips.

Original caption

The federal government has allocated a total of $11.33 million to Seven West Media under the Journalism Assistance initiative. This includes $5.6 million for the Seven Network television operation and $4.1 million for the West Australian newspaper. This is intended as a workforce/wage-based support grant, based on the number of journalists employed.
