Last week in parliament @CatherineKingMP and I worked to hold the Morrison government to account over #CarParkRorts.
We’ll keep pressing for answers, on behalf of Australians who deserve so much better than a mob that cant distinguish public money from a LNP slush fund.

To recap: last year I wrote to the Auditor-General, asking him to look into the car parks program, which seemed dodgy to me.
It was so much worse than I’d thought.
Worse than sports rorts.
His report was utterly damning.

The lowlights:
- none of the 47 projects were proposed by the infrastructure department;
- instead secret spreadsheets were passed between the minister’s office and the PMO;
- several have been cancelled, because they couldn’t have been built;
- only 2 are finished!

@australian 23 March #BrittanyHiggins is raped in the office of the Minister of Defence, Linda Reynolds by Bruce Lehrmann. Lehrmann had worked for Reynolds at one time. The office is quite near Morrison’s.
As soon as word travels, the office is cleaned.

@australian At some time Ms Higgins is called for a meeting IN THE ROOM WHERE THE RAPE OCCURRED
4 April a meeting between Reynolds’ office & 2 others to nut out what was to be done.
5 April Lehrmann’s PH employment is terminated. Now, keep that date in mind. It’s important.

@australian #ScottyTheGaslighter invites media to watch him pray. Sure thing. 21 April it rolls on up. Through the campaign, it’s been gleefully going along with the 🧢🍺 bad-Labor shtick. Meanwhile #CarparkRorts is occurring (#SportsRorts on steroids) @JoshFrydenberg knew all about it.

The Morrison government has taken commuters for a ride.
Using public money as if it were Liberal Party funds.

Desperate to buy votes, the Morrison government ripped up the rule book in 2019.
They made promises no one could keep - and they must have known this at the time.
So, the commuter car parks program is a disaster, with only 2 completed out of 47.
But that’s not the real story.

The Auditor-General found that they never bothered to speak with councils or state governments, so they had no idea what was happening on the ground.
That’s probably why NONE of the 47 projects were proposed by the Department.
Every single decision, purely based on politics.

Last year I asked the Auditor-General to investigate the Morrison Government’s commuter car park program.
His report has just been tabled.
It has shocked me.
This is sports rorts on an industrial scale.

This program was always about buying votes, not addressing the real needs of suburban commuters.
It’s the centrepiece of a $4.8 billion fund, the Urban Congestion Fund, that has also been mired in controversy for project delays and delivering 83% of its funding to target seats.

With #carparkrorts it’s a staggering 87% of funds to Coalition or target seats.
(Amazing when you the remember Labor holds the majority of urban seats.)
Due perhaps to a selection process including Liberal MPs!
