"PM calls out at 'double standards'
Meanwhile, Mr Morrison has hit out at Queensland's "double standards"'

After billions in election rorts, Morrison now decides he has a problem with "double standards". Does this hypocrite ever shut up?

"The score so far:
$102.5 million for the infamous Community Sport Infrastructure Program, the straw that broke the pork barrel’s back because the government defrauded sporting club volunteers who were misled into thinking the projects would be chosen on their merits, not political expediency
$150 million for the coalition’s spectacular “regional” swimming pools, that just happened to be overwhelmingly in Liberal seats, including $10 million for the region of the North Sydney pool
$272 million Regional Growth Fund most of which was dished out in a hurry just before the election and no prize for guessing which colour electorates overwhelmingly pocketed the largesse
$841.6 million for the Building Better Regions Fund. This loot is spread over four years, so I erred on the side of caution the first time round in only counting the election year splurge – but we all know better now
$200 million in government advertising in the lead up to the election – an unprecedented level of self-promotion with your money
$2 billion for the ironically-named Climate Solutions Fund. This poorly-administered handout for the favoured few is of dubious worth to begin with. It runs for 10 years, so I originally counted only one year’s worth – but in the spirit of rorting, what the hell, throw the lot in
$4 billion Urban Congestion Fund incorporating the $500 million Commuter Car Park Fund that followed the usual pattern of being mainly poured into coalition marginal seats
$300 million Drought Communities Program – another one where the government ignores its own criteria and hands out money without regard for eligibility
$220 million Regional Jobs and Investment Package – ministers rejecting 28 per cent of the recommended applications and approving 17 per cent without recommendation
$22.65 million for the Stronger Communities Program, and
$22.65 million for the Communities Environment Program."
