Anthony Albanese has been getting a lot of bad press over the decision to allocate about $6 million to the Marrickville Golf Club located in his constituency. The money is to be used for the clubhouse renovation, a new bar, dining facilities landscaping and not, as Albanese (mistakenly, I think) told parliament, to repair a sewage problem. Quite properly, that repair is being financed by the state government.
Isn’t this just the usual kerfuffle where politicians get caught (once again) allocating public money back to their own constituents? Doesn’t this just prove that Australian politics has an integrity problem that just doesn’t get fixed?
