Analysis of Federal seats and the funding imbalance. Add to that State Govt pork barrelling and you have the further widening between the poor and elite suburbs facilities, desirability and reputations, schools and community lifestyles, and, in the long run, children's opportunities.

How $2.8 billion of your money is spent — it grossly favours Coalition seats
Liberal electorates received three times more taxpayer money than Labor-held seats, as a detailed analysis of more than 19,000 grants reveals a highly politicised system rife with uneven spending. See the funding your electorate received.

Rank corruption. Disguised by low-rent, swaggering, smirking arrogance. During the GFC, under our government, stimulus grants were distributed equitably... | By Kevin Rudd | Facebook

Ros Kelly was a rank amateur compared to this current level of corrupt behavior with billions of tax dollars.

Picture the ugliest pig you’ve ever seen with a bogan voice but who thinks they are highly intelligent because they have an arts degree, add 30 extra kg around the guts, put a smug smile and lipstick on the pig and you have Annastacia Palaszczuk. Hmm actually you might be keen come to think of it mate hahaha

In strife previously, then recently charged over an AVO breach and now allegedly rorting Covid grants.
How does anyone like this get near public office?

Terrible day for pollies. Labor member charged for breaching AVO, Liberal member charged with rape.
Politics attracts a certain type of person.

Yeah I don’t get it - and I’m not trying to make the issue a partisan one - there’s grubs everywhere. I guess the power goes to their head and they think they’re untouchable. Not sure it can be fixed either.

Keep changing Govts until they get the message that we won't accept the lying and corruption any longer.
Hold them all accountable.
All of us stop making excuses for "your" side and properly evaluate what's going on based on facts... not by the loyalty to the original ethos of the 2 majors that we are all guilty of.
If the new Govt also try it on, then vote them out.
That may take several cycles but it's about all the public can do I guess.
