The prime minister has shrugged off suggestions of by-election pork barrelling after committing a massive $100 million for a bus transport hub in the NSW seat of Bennelong. Flanked by state Premier Gladys Berejiklian and federal Liberal candidate John Alexander, Malcolm Turnbull played up the funding for the project in Sydney's northwest. Mr Turnbull says today's (Tue) announcement is about the good of the people, not a by-election outcome.
