Reported at michaelwest.com.au: Opposition leader Peter Dutton proposes a return to controversial “safety grants,” which critics suggest resemble the previous government’s pork-barrelling practices that favoured partisan political interests over genuine community needs.

Past instances of corruption involved significant public funds being allocated in ways that primarily benefited Coalition electorates, raising integrity concerns.

Both major parties engage in grant allocation, but Dutton’s initiative signals a potential revival of blatant electoral bribery reminiscent of the Morrison government’s tenure.
