Regardless of who wins the federal election on 21 May, the real winners of the campaign so far are sports facilities in marginal seats.
An analysis of data from Guardian Australia’s pork-o-meter shows sport-related promises dominate the announcements from both parties, accounting for one-third of Labor’s seat-specific announcements so far and 15% of the Coalition’s announcements. This makes it the most common announcement category for Labor, and the second most common for the Coalition after infrastructure.
