disproportionate funding

I am really irked that two independents have been able to secure funding of $10b for their electorates ... that's about 60% of the whole BER Program in which at least the mispending was spread reasonably fairly around the nation.

Governments and the Public Services have probity responsibilities ... and committees ... to make sure public officers dont accept bribes or favours as small as a free lunch for fear of them being compromised.

Isn't $10b for just two electorates the elephant in the room? Imo, it is wrong and corrupt and it is now public policy of our minoroty Labor Govt?

Its ugly imo and obscene.

And now a philosophical point ... the most per capita efficient infrastructure investments are made in cities where it directly benefits more inhabitants and the least is in the country and moreso in remote underpopulated country.

This is why say telecommunications services including broadband are generally better in cities and poorer in country areas ... and so it goes for many services.

It is not a heard stretch to see the quality of life (air, water, pace of life, stress, housing affordaility etc) is better in the country and poorer in cities ... so why is it assumed country folk need and deserve greater assistance and city folk are over serviced and somehow less deserving of public funds?
