I’ve already heard $450M bandied about.

Quid pro quo 500 houses in the bush, we’re not talking Vaucluse mansions and two small hospitals at $200M each plus equipment. Again bush hospitals not Royal North Shore equivalent.

That’s where the money should have been spent. Another thing. Why doesn’t Australia use a voting app? Software is already in place for other Govt apps. Just a slight mod. $20M.
