Governments in all States, as well as
the Federal lot are always squealing about the need to balance their
budgets and producing excuses for cutting services to taxpayers.
But it doesn't stop them from finding
money to support pet projects.
The latest example is the South
Australian Government's decision to provide a $500,000 grant to
expand an existing commercial egg farm.
How is it that politicians believe it's
OK to pour money into a private business while cutting services to
just about everyone else? This grant is a massive subsidy for one
farm which will provide unfair competition for those free range egg
producers who've used their own money, or had to borrow at commercial
rates to establish and expand their businesses.
Here's a link to the announcement from the SA
Government.
