Marrickville Golf Club, which received $6 million in federal funding, has stated that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s honorary membership is valued at $1,100 for 2026, not the $5 he previously claimed.

This revelation comes after a report highlighted the grant scheme, leading Albanese to maintain he had a $5 honorary social membership.
