ethics of Government subsidy of a specific business proposal.
Wasn't the government going to sink a billion into Badgery's Creek? Effectively a handout to Sydney Airport Corp? It was almost a done deal until the Govt got cold feet. Didn't seem to be the same hysteria about that company getting a "loan".
The Vic Govt gave Australia's once richest woman $1.2 mill to help her look for more gold, the Feds gave Arrium $50 mill to put into a clapped out steel works, BHP and Rio got $100 mill for a mine that isn't even in Australia. We just spent $120 mill to prop up the Post Office and answer a question that didn't need asking. It's only money. Government isn't about ethics, it's about votes.
