The minister who oversaw the programs creation, Alan Tudge, has been shifted out of the portfolio in late 2020 so cant face questions in Parliament over the saga. Freedom of information requests for the role of the Prime Minister are rebuffed on flimsy grounds or only contain sheets of black ink.

Scott Morrisons miracle election victory was built on promises of commuter car parks, roundabouts and sports grounds. All to be funded with taxpayers money.

It remains to be seen whether the government has learned the merits or otherwise of splashing cash around to win over increasingly cynical voters when it has no control over the land to be used or the planning processes involved.
