Another ANAO report, another rort. But this one’s a whopper: hundreds of millions of dollars spent trying to save seats in Victoria with no accountability of any kind.
To coincide with the return of incompetent rorter Bridget McKenzie to cabinet, the auditor-general yesterday released a report showing how the pros rort taxpayer funds.
McKenzie’s sports rorts were a lousy $100 million spent trying to win marginal seats. Alan Tudge and Michael McCormack’s National Commuter Car Park Fund is three quarters of a billion dollars and counting, and part of a much bigger pork-barrel called the Urban Congestion Fund (UCF), currently up to $4.8 billion.
For all the outrage about her blatant rorting, McKenzie was splashing in the toddlers’ pool while Tudge and McCormack were doing laps in the Olympic-size trough.
