| If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stand in one of those game show capsules being showered by money then today is really your day. Both parties broke out the national credit card at their campaign launches today and started spending like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. Entering to the strains of Prince and the Power Generation’s “Money Don’t Matter 2 Night” — well, not really, but he should have — Peter Dutton dropped a cool $10 billion on a one-off tax cashback of up to $1200 at the Coalition campaign launch in Western Sydney.
