My question is to the Prime Minister. Seventy-three per cent of funding from Labor's $560 million secret, invite-only grant scheme went to projects in Labor electorates, including a $6 million grant to the Marrickville Golf Club, of which the Prime Minister has not declared his own honorary membership. When the Prime Minister said 'shameless pork-barrelling must stop, and it will, under a Labor government,' was that just another broken promise?
