I have wanted to express this for the last three days. here goes. I am disgusted at the lack of Integrity and dishonesty of the main Stream media in Australia. Because they have been knobbled by the Coalition generally. This week they have been discussing Labor Branch stacking

Ad infinitum in Victoria. branch Stacking is NOT an offence. It is a manipulation of the Internal labor Party rules. What might be an offence is the fools of MP's who used employees on the Public payrole to do this manipulation. I agree that that needs to be addressed. If those

MP's have committed offenses against State or federal laws, then they should rightly suffer the consequences. The press have been spending an inordinate amount of time discussing this this week. YET they have totally ignopred another outrage perpetrated by the sitting Federal

Coalition Government. The reporting of the rorting of the latest round of the BUILDING THE BETTER REGIONS FUND ROUND 5. This was reported in the Guardian and the New Daily within days of it being released. I was one of the people who analysed it. Here is a graph of the uneven

distribution of the funds.

I cannot understand how this is not Newsworthy, especially in the Light of the following NINE other analyses done and hardly reported by the press. The first was Sports Rorts. Value $100 Million

The next was Community Development grants between 2013 and 2019 Value $1.1 Billion.

The next was Regional Development Programs from 2013 to 2019 to the value of $714.5 million

The next was Community Development grants in 2020 for a value of $392.3 Million

The next was Building the Better Regions fund in 2020 for a value of $158.4 Million.

Then there was the Female facilities and Water Safety stream Grants worth $135.75 Million

followed by The Commuter car Park Fund. Worth $704.39 Million

Then there was Drought Communities fund for a Cool $188.5 Million.

And finally (of those already analysed) The Local Roads and community Infrastructure Fund worth another cool $499.1 Million.

The total of all of these rorts adds up to $4.3 Billion.

This is the reason we need an:-
INTEGRITY COMMISSION,
CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT AND A
DECENT AND LESS DISHONEST PRESS WHICH SHOWS INTEGRITY IN THEIR BALANCE IN REPORTING. Ping That means you @InsidersABC

The last time i checked this Government had allocated $63 Billion in grants since 2018 and since 2013 had awarded tender contracts worth $374 Billion. AND THIS ISN'T NEWS? Give me a break.
