Are drought funds used for Mall development?

Am I the only one concerned that a Council planning decision has been changed to suit a few shops by the influence of our local MP, using government funds. Have the National Party learnt nothing from sports rorts? I would Like to see Damian Drum explain the use of drought funds for a city Mall to the farmers suffering drought and MDBA Issues. To waste this amount of money during a time of pandemic, with a record number of rate payers struggling and the federal budget in deficit, defies logic.
