Mobile Black Spot Program

The Auditor-General's investigation continues into the shameful round 6 of the Mobile Black Spot Program, where Labor gave a hundred per cent of funding in New South Wales and Victoria to Labor seats, and, across the country, they gave 74 per cent to Labor seats. The Minister for Communications is so concerned about this that she has put formal submissions to the Information Commissioner defending her decision to provide no documents at all about her involvement in round 6. If there's nothing to hide, provide the documents—hand them over to the Information Commissioner and make them public. But the minister won't do that. There's a very, very obvious question. She doesn't want to, because this is an absolutely shameful use of public funding.
