If we are asking specifically about state governments diverting federal funds earmarked for a particular purpose into something completely unrelated – I honestly cannot think of any instance of that ever happening in Australia. I'm not saying it has never happened, but I'm not aware of any examples. Have any Canadian provinces done that? Any of the UK's devolved administrations? I am thinking that particular form of corruption may well be, in the English-speaking world, somewhat unique to the US.
