Spending tax money to get recognition for spending tax money

Rudd and Gillard are forcing schools recieving stimulus money to put up signs which advertise the spending. The signs must remain up "until the completion of the BER (Building the Education Revolution) program on 31 March 2011 or project completion", which is, conveniently, shortly after the next election.

The signs themselves will cost a whopping $3.8 million dollars of your tax-payer money.
