The Australian, 18 August 2010
Just in case anyone hadn’t been keeping up, the new word for “pork barrelling” is “sandbagging”. Of course, it amounts to the same thing, but I guess may be lower in cholesterol. This cartoon features Julia, but of course the other side do it just as shamelessly, mainly because it works.
Anyway, if you’re living in a marginal electorate, expect lots of lovely pressies over the next few days and if you don’t, well, stiff cheese.
