"NATIONALS CANDIDATES THE BIG WINNERS IN LATE PRE-ELECTION SPORTS GRANTS BONANZA"

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-31/nationals-big-winners-in-late-sports-grants/11918526 today, 31 January 2020, records:

"Nationals deputy leader Bridget McKenzie approved sports grants projects in colleagues' electorates that were lodged well after the deadline and announced just weeks before the federal election.

The ABC has confirmed several projects that received funding in a pre-election extension of the scandal-plagued $100 million Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program hadn't even applied when applications closed in September 2018.

And a handful of other projects only secured funding after the sporting clubs were encouraged by their local Coalition MP to resubmit an amended application.

All nine of the new or resubmitted projects were in Coalition seats or seats being targeted by the Nationals or Liberal Party.

None of the projects were approved by the Sport Australia board, as required under the guidelines, according to the auditor-general.

The new revelations help explain why Sport Australia bitterly complained about their late inclusion in the grants program which, as the ABC exclusively reported earlier this week, sparked complaints from the agency that its independence was being compromised.

In his scathing report into the sports grants scheme, auditor-general Grant Hehir reserved his harshest criticism for the way some projects got funding outside the guidelines.

He cited Sport Australia's concerns that it was "not appropriate to invite or accept new applications at this time".

The program guidelines stated "emerging issues" could be considered in relation to late applications. But the Minister's office did not identify these issues, even after Sport Australia requested reasons from the Minister's office.

The ABC can reveal many of these late applications were for projects in electorates either held or being hotly contested by the Nationals and formed part of Deputy Nationals leader Bridget McKenzie's pre-election blitz.

In the ultra-marginal Queensland seat of Capricornia, held by Nationals MP Michelle Landry, $146,200 was granted to Yeppoon Swans AFL Club.

Senator McKenzie was at the club's home ground Swan Park to announce the funding on May 1, just 17 days before the election..."

Did anyone just see the alleged leaked email from Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison's office showing he apparently knew about what McKenzie was doing? This is after he had publicly stated that he had no knowledge of what had happened.
