PS, did anyone tell him she is actually from the National Party ?
Or that Labor are the Kings of Pork Barrelling ? Read the link below and have a think of which case is worse.......
NINETY per cent of almost $150 million in regional grants announced by Labor during last year's election campaign went to Labor-held or Labor-targeted marginal electorates - an even higher proportion than the former Coalition government spent on its own electorates under the now-discredited Regional Partnerships scheme.
The Rudd Government has not provided a list of the funding promised under its four-year $176million Better Regions scheme, saying it is still sorting though its election promises.
But an analysis by The Australian of election documents has found 34 grants announced during the campaign worth a total of $145.96 million.
Only one went to a safe Liberal seat. The other 33 went to marginal seats being targeted by Labor, all but five of which were eventually won by Labor.
