I am once again asking press gallery journalists to compute that needs based funding would and should skew to low income areas, which are typically represented by Labor and Nationals MPs.

and to do some fucking homework on the lawfulness of handouts to organisations in seats the Morrison government wants to win. Stop telling us these corrupted processes are “legal”. Ministerial override has to be expressly authorised by the parent act. Go and check.

when constitutional law experts like Professor Anne Twomey tell a Senate Committee that the funding authority is a statutory organisation but whatever. The Davids “believe” vote-buying handouts by ministerial override are “perfectly legal”.

to be clear, the linked article is properly researched. My gripe is with lazy and compromised press gallery journalists, not the indies who are doing the work.
