here’s @Georgina4Mayo giving $127,373 of her own money to the local bowling club.
oh, hang on, it’s not her money, or even @LiberalAus’ money — it’s a commonwealth grant, ie. *your* money.
oh, hang on, she’s not even the local member. 🤷🏻♂️
what justification does she have?

did georgina think it was her own money to give?
did georgina think it was @LiberalAus’ money?

i’d love to hear from anyone on the #yankalilla bowling club committee — why did they agree to participate in this crass, partisan, sham event?
not the first time...
here’s how pork barrelling used to be done — an actual elected MP, acknowledging the actual source of the money.

the *real* local member answers:

@KatePalmer_CEO, it does look a bit odd for a commonwealth agency to call the commonwealth government the “liberal national government”...

...actually reminds me of the time @Georgina4Mayo launched a website petitioning the federal government for a new aquatic centre in #mayo...

...and less than a week later the prime minister turned up and announced a $10m grant.

...the hits keep coming! here’s @Georgina4Mayo a week ago at a most auspicious sod turning for a suburban roundabout:
• it’s in #boothby, not #mayo
• it’s a state not federal project
• it was initiated by @JayWeatherill’s government
• it’s in #boothby, not #mayo

...flashback: who could forget when @Georgina4Mayo stood alongside the then prime minister and the defence minister at the announcement of a $35bn contract.
