What are the key financial commitments made by Australian political parties during the current election campaign, and what is their potential impact on the national budget?

During the Australian federal election campaign, significant sums were pledged for local projects by various parties. For example, the Liberal Party promised \$165,000 for a community garden in Eden-Monaro, while Labor committed \$67,000 for a playground in Bullwinkel and \$750,000 for a skate park in Bendigo. These funds will be sourced from taxpayer revenue.
