    Josh Frydenberg already has $3.8 billion primed and ready to go for electioneering this financial year.

    That’s how much was in May’s budget for “decisions taken but not announced” – a figure that can be easily spun out to a nice round fat-sounding $10 billion by extending it over the four years of the forward estimates.

    With the Morrison Gov already being seen (courtesy of the Fed Audit Office) to have used taxpayers money to make promises amounting to near $1B for the last election.... promises that were mostly dubious and unmet by need in marginal and LNP seats where they were promised.... its looking like a good time to be living in a LNP seat.

    But what about the rest of the country? Do Labor-held seats need or deserve car parks at train stations?

    While the government continues to defend the indefensible in its $660 million #carporkrorts and , the ANAO has made them just a tad embarrassing.

    Such governance is entwined with the popular desire for a genuine National Integrity Commission as the second-biggest issue behind climate change that’s ticking the boxes for the growing independents movement in Coalition seats. (ibid)

    Will the Gov realise that other issues weigh heavily on the minds of the people? or will they continue with
    pork-barrelling as the mainstay of their campaign?
