Reverse Pork Barrelling
The misappropriation of government funds to marginal electorates when close to an election, with the intention of winning more seats.
First used by Senator McKenzie of LNP in January 2020, in relation to the awarding of $100 million sports grants prior to the 2019 elections.
After being found by the ANAO to have run a biased and parallel assessment to Sports Australia, she was asked, "Did you pork barrell?" Bridget replied,
"Well if anything... there's a case of reverse pork barrelling going on" She went on to explain how because of her intervention and process, that a greater number of projects were supported in Labour electorates. The Auditor general found that she had favoured marginal seats.
