Frances Abbott, daughter of [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal Party]] politician [[Tony Abbott]] (then [[Leader of the Opposition (Australia)|opposition leader]]), paid $7,546 for a $68,182 degree at the college in 2011, the rest being covered by a "chairman’s scholarship"; the chairman being a donor to the Liberal Party and Tony Abbott personally. The scholarship was not offered to other students, who were told there was no scholarship available for that program. Instead Frances was selected for the occasional scholarship by the founder and owner of the Whitehouse Institute, Leanne Whitehouse. The scholarship was not disclosed by Abbott in the parliamentary Register of Members’ Interests.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/parliamentary-rules-and-tony-and-frances-abbott,6507|title=Parliamentary rules and Tony and Frances Abbott |publisher=Independent Australia |date=23 May 2014|accessdate=26 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/tony-abbotts-friend-linked-to-60000-scholarship-for-frances-abbott-at-private-college-20140521-38olh.html |title=Tony Abbott's friend linked to $60,000 scholarship for Frances Abbott at private college |publisher=The Age |accessdate=22 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/national/classmates-express-fury-over-tony-abbotts-daughter-frances-being-awarded-60000-scholarship-to-whitehouse-institute-of-design/story-fncynjr2-1226926934506 |title=Classmates express fury over Tony Abbott’s daughter Frances being awarded $60,000 scholarship to Whitehouse Institute of Design |publisher=news.com.au |accessdate=22 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/22/former-classmates-angry-scholarship-abbotts-daughter |title=Frances Abbott's classmates angry that they could not apply for scholarship |publisher=The Guardian |date=22 May 2014 |accessdate=23 May 2014}}</ref> It has subsequently been alleged that Leanne Whitehouse has engaged in lobbying Tony Abbott in relation to gaining accreditation for a Masters of Design course <ref>{{cite news|url=https://newmatilda.com/2014/05/23/whitehouse-denies-lobbying-pm-cant-recall-and-400-people-saw-it |title=Whitehouse Denies Lobbying, PM Can't Recall, and 400 People Saw It |publisher=newmatilda.com |accessdate=25 May 2014 |date=23 May 2014}}</ref> and that Frances Abbott is employed by the institute while she waits to start studying the aforementioned course despite having no role in her employment.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newmatilda.com/2014/05/23/whitehouse-staff-register-reveals-no-role-frances-abbott |title=Whitehouse Staff Register Reveals No Role For Frances Abbott |publisher=newmatilda.com |accessdate=25 May 2014 |date=23 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://newmatilda.com/2014/05/24/frances-abbott-chosen-%E2%80%98-merit%E2%80%99-help-lobby-fed-govt-regulators |title=Frances Abbott Chosen ‘On Merit’ To Help Lobby Fed Govt Regulators |publisher=newmatilda.com |accessdate=26 May 2014 |date=24 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD-rKrcfGFE#t=440 |title=Frances Abbott's Scholarship: The Full Extent |publisher=Network 10 |accessdate=27 May 2014 |date=26 May 2014}}</ref> |
