Only in OZ

The recent Australia Talks survey revealed that 77 per cent of Australians think pork-barrelling by politicians should be a resignation-inducing offence.
However, it’s now clear with today’s return of “sports rorts” minister Bridget McKenzie to the Cabinet that it doesn’t even get you all that long on the bench.
And the breaking news from the poor old auditor-general, a man who has Seen Some Things, is that he’s discovered a new barrel of porcine product. The $660 million Urban Congestion Fund (in which the federal government committed to build car parks for annoyed commuters at “pinch points”) turns out to have been concentrated in Coalition and marginal target seats before the last election. And most of them haven’t been built anyway, and those that have are screamingly, ridiculously expensive, and so on.
