Pork barrel politics isn’t just about integrity; it is corrupt
The deliberate misuse of large amounts of public money for political gain is seriously corrupt. To label it as mere ‘pork barrelling’ is a misleading misnomer.
It is a concern when a major newspaper, in this case, The Australian Financial Review, editorialises on an important subject in a misleading way.
It is particularly concerning that these opinions were published only weeks out from the federal election at a time when, if uncorrected, they are most likely to cause harm to an undecided electorate.
