I'm sure there would be a lot of these outcomes at the Federal level if we had a Federal IBAC or ICAC. Fiddling the tender process is standard it seems. No tenders, limited tenders, and outright fiddled grants before an election. Corruption is rife. And ZERO accountability. At least Victoria is heading in a right direction, even though our IBAC isn't as strong as it could be with its catch 22 of needing to know there is an offense before they can take action. Or something illogical like that. But even with that limitation, they are getting places. This Ultranet thing is many years old.
