I heard that yesterday...
Sounds to me like a set-up...as has been mentioned by others...
Media sensationslising, creating hype being used to push an agenda that is nothing more than a headhunt...,and corrupt manipulative pay-off's are being used to expose what is a normal thing in everyday politics...
None of this is good...so i just dont see it being that funny...
I mean, what party, come an election, doesnt literslly "bribe" the constituents into voting for them...
If you vote for us, we'll do this, give you this, & add this...And all too often the constiuents are convinced they need "this", & not told "that" will be sacrificed to pay for it, with it being inevitable that any, or many will be screwed over regardless....
So a few sporting clubs went without, & others won...
And somehow, the efforts put into the applications by the loosers, are somehow bigger efforts than that of the winners...
And the loosers, some of whom have had recent grants anyway, pull the spoilt brat attitude & question if the effort is worth it...
If the effort isnt worth it, maybe they shouldnt bother in future & thus not give themselves something to complain about...
Its not as if the money was completely squandered...suppliers still got sales, employers payed staff & made profits, builders made good money & young apprentices were employed, & the govt got a lot of the money back in tax etc etc...
Its not as if the money was siphoned to an off-shore drug lord pimp in the underage sex trade for fuks sake...!!
"
Oh, but its unfair & im offended"...
'Wwhaaahh'
Australian politics...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
