More Broken News re Grants Rorts from thevogfiles.com We have now Analysed $6.7 billion worth of grants given out by this Coalition Government. here is the Distribution. "Where has the Fair Go Gone?" Pork Barrelled that's where.
So lets update you with the latest programs analysed. No 1. Rural, regional and other Special needs fund.
No 2. Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
No 3. Black Summer Grants.
No 4. Safer Communities. Targeted at religious groups.
No 5. Regional Connectivity Program. Fixing up certain NBN foul up's for mates?
As you can see the Distribution is skewed to the coalition Seats big time. Labor have 68 Seats and the Coalition have 77 so you would expect the distribution to be fairer. But it's not. Let us remind you of the 9 other Programs we have analysed.
No 6. Sports Infrastructure Grants. The $100 million scheme that started this all off.
No 7. Community Development Grants.
No 8. Regional Grant Programs.
No 9. Community Development Grants 2020
No 10. Building the better regions Fund 2020. Currently being Audited by the Auditor General.
No 11. Local Roads and community Infrastructure program 2020.
No 12. Commuter Car Park Fund.
No 13. Building the Better Regions fund. Rd 5. 2021. Being Audited by the Auditor General as we tweet.
No 14. Community Development Grants 2021.
So after all of those proportional mismatches, where the Coalition seats got the majority of the funds here is the Total Analysis again.
We ask again. "Where has the fair go Gone?" We at the thevogfiles.com believe that this distribution of funds is to reelect the Coalition. The next two Slides show that in as stark a fashion as is possible. Firstly lets show you the coalition "Fair go"
This slide shows how the coalition get onto the treasury benches. They shovel money at the Nationals seats. The party which gets them over the line and into government. The Average per seat for $6.7 billion was $44.8 million per seat. Yet the Nationals seats got an average
of $97.4 million per seat, The LNP, $47.7 million per seat. The Liberals $57.1 million per seat and the ALP seats got an average of $26.1 million per seat. The liberals have 44 seats, the LNP, 23 Seats and the Nationals 10 seats. Labor have 68. the party who control most of these
grants is the Nationals through the Department of Infrastructure. that then brings us to the Second graph which we have called Manipulation. This shows the Average which should have gone to every seat.
This is all about about Integrity,@AlboMP this is your birthday present.

🧵🧵I am sorry I just can't be quiet about the Nationals. Their Hubris and their complete disregard for the truth. Let me explain. Twice I heard @senbmckenzie say that the nationals represented 9 million Australians. I thought I would check. Out came the spreadsheet and I Loaded
data into it. The Nationals have 6 Queensland (LNP) MP's and 9 others in NSW and Victoria. None in SA, WA or Tasmania or the territories. All of their seats are regional or rural. None Urban. I thought to test the claim by the Victorian Senator about the 9 million So I added up Image
the number of electors registered in their seats and it came to 1,859,931 (one point eight million) and not all of these people voted for the Nationals But they ended up representing them. To be fair to the nationals I then added up the number of total people in their seats

🧵🧵Broken Liberal/National costings news part 2. One of the policy announcements the Coalition have made is the establishment of "Build Our Regions for Future Generations" They want to establish a $20 billion fund to benefit Regional and Rural Australia. liberal.org.au/2025/04/10/coa…
Sound good? Certainly But where is the money coming from and can you trust the Authors of the Scheme, David Littleproud, Angus Taylor and Jane Hume? So lets have a bit of a look at the past. YES this scheme was developed in the Coalition's last period of Government. It was
called the Building the Better Regions fund (BBRF) and was in 5 rounds. In those 3 parliaments there were 61 Regional and Rural Seats made up as follows. Roughly the same. Image

Dear @abcnews I think it's time to give you a bit of a lesson in Journalism. Yesterday I listened to your presenter on News breakfast make light of @AlboMP bring out the "Little green Card" due to an announcement on an Extension to medicare. The day before another commentator
seemed to take delight in Albanese falling off a stage and then the allegation that he lied about it. What absolute dross. What bottom of the barrel political commentary coming from the infant school of journalism. Let me tell you why that "little green card" and falling over
means so much to me and my family. I happened to be born with a DNA abnormality that gave me Psoriatic arthritis. It manifested itself when I was 27 years of age in 1981. There is no cure but since 2008 I have been on a drug which relieves the symptoms and much pain. I was

🧵🧵Welcome to another Liberal/Dutton fact check. Today Peter Dutton said that the Coalition always spends more on Defence. Well this is an old claim, made by Tony Abbott in 2012, then by Simon Birmingham in 2019 and so I decided to check the claim. A claim that the @abcnews
also decided to regurgitate on Insiders some time ago. So I actually downloaded all of the Budget Paper No 4 Papers and put the figures into a spreadsheet. So the source is impeccable. Firstly What is Defence? Well in 2008 when I started the series, it consisted of Defence,
Defence Materiel, Some Defence housing and Veterans affairs. In 2016 Defence Materiel and Defence were merged. So here is the Defence table for 2008 to the last budget in 2025. As you can see in 2012 Labor took 2.3 billion out But in 2015-16 The Coalition took $9.9 Billion out Image

🧵🧵Liberal Regional Infrastructure News. Well well well we have a Liberal National Policy announcement. Described in this article by the ABC. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-1…
Lets have a look at it. Firstly it says. "a $1 billion dividend each year to pay for infrastructure and services that local councils cannot afford including ways to boost phone and internet connectivity." Couple of points here. Firstly Australia's telecommunications was supposed
to be upgraded by Labor's NBN plan, which included connectivity to the Internet and Phone by that system. What happened? well the Liberals changed the plan and gave us Copper instead of the Proposed High Speed broadband. They are proposing something they opposed. Secondly the

More Broken News. Today I have been talking about Policy work and here is a great example of that type of work. Let me introduce Max Chandler Mather who appeared on QandA last evening and let me introduce his Feature Stump policy. It's a bit confusing as to whether its
Housing, homelessness, Rentals or a mixture of the three. These three are really three different problems. Housing is very complex and involves different social policy ingredients than homelessness and/or rentals. As an analogy they all contain Salt and pepper and Garlic and
Ginger but the main ingredients are very different and all of them are complex. What i can assure you is that the Greens and Max will not be getting a Michelin Star for any of their ideas. Dropping the flippancy now. My point is that policy in any area is always arcane
