The chairman of a Sydney design college has insisted he had no part in awarding a prestigious $60,000 scholarship to Frances Abbott, the daughter of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, but conceded he probably mentioned she would be a good candidate for it. Les Taylor, chairman of the board of governors of the Whitehouse Institute of Design, is a noted Liberal Party donor and long-time friend of Mr Abbott. ‘‘I probably did say to someone at Whitehouse ‘Frances is a nice girl or something, good family, works hard, I reckon she’d do well’,’’ Mr Taylor told Fairfax Media.
