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.

@latingle I am a real person, not afraid to voice my opinions. I am a Labor member and proud of it. I don't agree with abuse on this platform and try hard not to swear on here. I think social media generally frightens the hell out of Journalists. The technology changes have also changed
@latingle the media marketplace. Gone are the days when the majority got their news from the Media. Now I go to the source such as Government reports, the ABS etc. I have a range of learned skills which enable me to do Analysis for myself. many people on twitter are like me.
@latingle Much newspaper reporting is inaccurate and opinionated and comes from "Sources" which are dubious at best. There are three main Media groups in Australia, Murdoch, channel Nine and the ABC. I discount any media from the first two and much from the Last. Mainly because it's

#RortsCentral. At the risk of sounding anti press, I don't agree with the premis that this was all about marginal seats. I have read the report and looked at the Victorian Seats where the most money was sent. These are those seats
Dunkley is the only one which could be said to be marginal (It fell to Labor) but more because of a redistribution than anything else. In Aston Tudge has a margin of 20270, In Deakin, Sukkar 9307, Kooyong Frydenberg 11289, Menzies, Andrews 14810, Goldstein,Wilson 15480 and
La Trobe,Wood 8863. They had between them 25 Car park schemes allocated. So nothing to do with Marginality. On the other hand I agree with @RonniSalt who thinks that this was a plot hatched in the Prime ministers office by careful evaluation of the best way to win in 2019....

This Sewer rat, who used, many years ago to be a police constable have questions about why the Investigation was closed. Apparently (I say apparently because the press dribble out information in the most desultory fashion and in no order) The Minister's complainant reported her
allegations to police in March 2020. First Question. What information did they write down. Then apparently again they were in touch with her 5 times before she dropped the complaint. Second Question, Where are the recorded notes of those interviews? Third Question, did she give
Police details from her diary? Did she write to them in emails describing the alleged rape? What did the police do? What didn't they do? All police have notebooks. The police Stations have an occurrence book which all visitors to the station are written into. The police who

This year is the 40 year that I have had Serious arthritis. Thankfully at the start of my illness with this very painful disease there was the Labor Government of Hawke and Keating. I was treated well by centrelink when I became too ill to work. in 1996 my life changed and I
became a pariah. I was treated with contempt and like I was some kind of criminal. There was no drug to treat my condition and as well as constant pain that was enhanced and exacerbated by the pain of Liberal government condemnation. You see the liberals don't believe in
disability, they believe in heartlessness and grinding people into the ground. During that time I was audited by centrelink 5 times in 18 months. First they would send me the papers and 3 months later they would sent them to my wife. The last audit was face to face ad when i

Yesterday I posted all the grants schemes analysed. Now I am going to Post them one by one. Starting with the Sports administration Grants. Value $100 Million Image
This analysis took me 4 days because I had to manually check every electorate and Post code. (Did you know there are 17,500 postcodes in Australia?). Today is an interesting day as the Senate Select Committee into Sports Administration grants (Sports Rorts) sits at 2pm today..
If you want to watch go to the Watch Parliament web site and see them doing their thing. While you are at it, go and look at this web site aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

This is a pie chart of all the grants programs I have analysed from 2013 to 2020 (7 programs incl Sports rorts). The total value is $3,178,910,475 ($3.178 Billion Scholars)
The graph shows the reason why the Coalition are in power. Basically they are using our money to buy votes to get back on the Treasury benches. They use the tactics of the GOP in America, but they use Australians money to fund their objectives. Sports rorts was the tip of the
iceberg. it was only worth $100 million. Since the grant connect webpages where they report these grants have been live (1 Jan 2018) $45 billion in grants has been distributed by Government. So my $3 Billion has only looked at the tip. If you want to learn ,more Visit
