The Building Better Regions Fund has been widely exposed as pork-barrelling made intro an art-form. So we thought putting the latest grants into a map<\/a> might be a nice way to show that art in its true colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been endless articles characterising the BBRF as pork-barrelling. The New Daily has a nice series<\/a> just for example. The issue is that the grants have a strange tendency to go to coalition seats, or seats the coalition is trying to get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So our map shows the latest round 5 grants which were released a couple of days ago mapped to the suburbs listed in the grants and overlayed with Federal electorates mapped to the parties. It’s pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow shows Tourism grants, pink is for general infrastructure grants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This data is published by the government in a web page<\/a> (we can be thankful it’s not just a PDF). Making it useful was an interesting undertaking and we’ll take a look at adding more like this in the future when we smooth out the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime a map won’t tell you everything but it does provide an interesting view of where the Building Better Regions Fund grants are ending up. Have a play here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
