Cleaning the stables : Comments

By Mark Buckley, published 28/1/2020

Recently Senator Bridget McKenzie, a National Party member, and Deputy Leader of the party, was found by the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) to have acted outside the spirit of a $100 million sports grant program.

Yes individual and a worthy idea that reflects the "Christian ethics of the PM, Hahahaha.

Pete the nats probably wouldn't have seat but for liberal preferences! And underlines as nothing else can the values of those libs that cosy up, do dirty swap deals in the dead of night, for the sake of just winning seats! And to hell with integrity and character!?

These folk to a generic man rejected a Federal ICAC with teeth!

If that doesn't tell those making light of spending a hundred million of our money, where the problem lies, nothing else will!

We have sporting clubs and they have public toilets. I don't remember any grants coming to us, given we are a very safe coalition seat!?

Perhaps if this were not so we'd be in line for these charity handouts?

And because they own our minds and our rusted on allegiance regardless of the perceived personal integrity, or not, of the member?

Jamo,
read the article, for God's sake. All of it is true. No left or right, just facts. She received a list of worthy, needy sports organisations from Sports Australia, and ignored their recommendations, and in the process spent $100,000,000 (it looks a lot with all those zeroes, doesn't it) of taxpayers' (our) money, on private Adelaide golf clubs, and Tony Abbott's rowing club. And don't forget the cash spent in Kooyong. I don't know where you live, but if you live in Melbourne, Kooyong is more desirable than Toorak, and its sports clubs are not short of a quid. You should wake up and read articles properly before you spout your ill-informed generalities. And like I said to ttbn, if you don't like the facts, tough luck! They must be fake news, like your hero the Donald says.

Alan B,
Australians claim to have a Democracy so, why then do so many object when some funding goes to those who are in the majority ?

Dear askbucko,

Just a little secret, don't stress about jamo. He is a piss taker and a pretty funny one at that. I know him outside the forum, although he will strenuously deny it, and he is about as right as I am. In one particular case he laid it on so thick I thought he was going to get strangled for his efforts.

It usually takes the alt-right crowd a little while to wake up to him. It will be interesting to see if this current crop twig.

Anyway sit back and enjoy. He really is good value.
