#PorkBarrelling
Is arms manufacturing gambling on there being enough global turmoil to justify investment, or fraud via porkbarrelling?

Porkbarrelling built the New Deal Coalition and held it together longer than it should've, by all rights, stuck together. -OS
It turns out you kinda need corruption to grease wheels.

There's a reason why boss politics is such a natural state.

Rorts galore. Why is Albo encouraging grant corruption? - Michael West
There’s a reason why the knackerless NACC doesn’t care about grant corruption: politicians don't want it to. Labor rorts

Remember #SportsRorts? Nothing's changed! Both Labor & LNP remain absolutely shameless in dishing our taxpayers funded local grants to 'buy' votes. It’s corruption in plain sight. #PorkBarrelling #auspol
In the race to be Australia’s ‘lord mayor’, Albanese has a $1.2 billion case to answer
Labor has far outpaced Peter Dutton on local projects this month amid a political row over spending cuts.

Porkbarrelling is the trade
mark of the LNP.
Side note, I walked past the Herald Sun in a servo and wondered why they had the fear, crime, gang story splashed on the front page. Now I know why.

. @albomp.bsky.social’s campaign pledges are just naked partisan calculations. Today it's a $700M freeway announcement in WA. Meanwhile it’s nothing for Whyalla's steelworks. It’s #PorkBarrelling in the party’s interest over spending in the national interest. #saparli
PM, Dutton both promise Kwinana Freeway expansion as WA election campaign kicks off
On Monday morning, Albanese announced he would ease congestion along the Kwinana Freeway if elected by widening the road.

Labors #PorkBarrelling has started with disgraced Environment minister Tanya Plibersek giving Griffin’s Stables Theatre in her Electorate of Sydney $5M .
Labor prevented the #NACC investigating porkbarrelling so they can flood money into marginal Labor seats .

What subject did she teach? Was it "Effective Porkbarrelling Via Corrupt Program Guidelines"? 😉

Renewables increasing the % going into the grid at a cracking pace. Many Medicare improvements. Early childcare education. Fairer tax cuts. Overseas companies to pay tax. No huge reforms but many improvements. No rorts or porkbarrelling, Dutton inflated contracts without tender, secret ministries.

Because the line between honouring election promises & porkbarrelling is thin & slippery.
Labor, when in opposition, correctly, called out LNP for doing exactly the same.

Remembering the #SportsRorts of Scomo, Bridget McKenzie & Sarah Henderson.

Yes, lots of good moves, never applauded by media, many completely ignored. And no rorts, no porkbarrelling, no dodgy Dutton type contracts with no tender, no sex scandals, or sneaking in au pairs for mates. No secret ministries. No dodgy deals with

The Murdoch media has for decades perpetuated the myth of the "Liberals are superior economic managers. Of course it's not true and the stats prove they werent. But it still gets trotted out by them. (They do excel at rorts and porkbarrelling though.) 😡😡😡
The LIberal Party are NOT good economic managers. Last time they were in, they flouted laws and protocols re conflicts of interest, tenders etc, lined their own pockets and their mates’, and tripled Australia’s debt. PUT LIBERALS LAST.
(For our international friends, Liberal Party = Republicans)

That's the purpose of their nuclear "plan" - to slow down renewables to please the fossil fuel miners like Gina Rinehart!
Yesterday Dutton announced they'd plunder funds set aside for new transmission lines funds, and transfer to a Regional Futures Fund! Sounds like porkbarrelling to me!!!!

Yes, more candidate-oriented systems (or pseudo-candidate-oriented, in the case of FPTP) encourage porkbarrel politics, which is particularly heightened under STV because you have to gain preferences from other candidates, with porkbarrelling an easy way of doing this.

Labors New $17 Billion Mining companies #Porkbarrelling fund National Reconstruction Fund Corporation is off to a great start giving more subsidies to Labor/LNP mining donors

He probably means they've been working on it for a week. So easy to gather up some excellent Future Funds instituted by Labor, giving them new names and distributing to areas the LNP traditionally hold, (Aka porkbarrelling?) and plundering the transmission lines funding a the same time.😡
April 10, 2025 at 5:18 AM
Pitched to their base - and shuts down the Housing Future Fund and plunders funding for transmission lines. I smell skullduggery, and porkbarrelling.

In Australia the #LiberalParty needs to change its name .. they’re NOT liberal in any sense of the word except when they’re #PorkBarrelling or giving #MatesRates 😡

Conservative Porkbarrelling and corruption hurts budgets but adequately funding third party / non-profits and paying government workers fairly keeps people employed and feeds businesses across sectors. Trickle down economics has never worked but solid use of taxpayers money creates great economies
