Fed's to investigate purchase of Western Sydney Airport land
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has launched an investigation into potential criminal offences relating to a controversial land deal in Western Sydney.

News Story Summary:

The Leppington Triangle was purchased by the Commonwealth for $30 million as part of the Western Sydney Airport project a Badgerys Creek

The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) was scathing of the deal, because the land was only valued at $3 million.

"The AFP can confirm it is conducting an investigation to identify potential criminal offences relating to issues identified in an ANAO report into the sale of land to the Commonwealth at Badgerys Creek," the AFP said in a statement.

"This investigation remains ongoing, and it is too early to speculate on potential outcomes, so no further comment will be provided."

The land sits at the end of the proposed second runway of the airport and was purchased in 2018, 32 years before it will be needed as part of a future expansion of the currently in-development airport.

Cabinet minister Paul Fletcher previously labelled information given to him about the inflated land sale as "deficient" and blamed department officials for allowing the deal to sail through unquestioned.
