There was a major story about a Government spending scandal that broke earlier this week — not that you could hear it over the din of COVID coverage, as multiple states and territories introduced lockdowns.

A report from the Australian National Audit Office, released on Monday, shows the Government splashed $660 million on car parks, overwhelmingly located in Liberal seats in the lead up to the last election.

It's sparked comparisons to the 'sports rorts' saga, which maxxed out at $100 million.

So what's the Government's rationale? And will there be any fallout?
