Hey Big Spender

The Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, 'Herself', spent a whopping 41.5 percent more last year.

In the year to May 2008 expenditure slid in at just under a $ billion (999 million to be exact). In the prior year she spent $706 million.

It's pretty damn disgusting when there are people unable to access life-saving surgery and pharmaceuticals, schools that are in a state of disrepair, businesses being broken by increasing taxes.

The plebeians are expected to prioritise their budgets wisely while government Ministers continue to act like the "rich pricks" they so despise.

Good post--and it illustrates perfectly the elitist, out-of-touch mindset of the "worker's party".
