Imagine just for one minute how difficult it must be to run the country when almost 50% of it's citizens are like this git from Nelligen !

Dear runner,

You write; "You would think they would of learnt from their democrat mates."

When are you going to get it through your thick skull we are not flag waving, starspangled devotees of your president.

You have decided you are more American than Australian which is fine but we really don't need you injecting your American politics into an Australian domestic political matter.

Dear mhaze,

You write; "after saying I had no particular truck with Morrison and didn't even vote for him last time out".

Mate after all the mess Scomo has made of things including presiding over rorts involving 100s of millions of taxpayer dollars yet you can't bring yourself to say a single bad word about the bloke instead you trot out the 'haters' rhetoric to deflect from him.

That takes a type of sycophantic loyalty which most of couldn't muster in a pink fit.

Steel and Paul your claims of misappropriation of funds for sports are a legitimate claim of the opposition, however at the time of the allocation all designated grants were legitimate according to the Auditor General. The problem was at the time the grant being deposited, some of the projects were already started. This then made them invalid.

Josephus,

The Liberal Party was buying votes with taxpayers money in the lead up to the general election.

Why do you religious people keep trying to make excuses for them? Better still Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison and Bridget McKenzie should buy some indulgences off Hillsong and all of their sins will be washed away.

SteeleRedux, Could you please identify the rorts involving 100s of millions of taxpayer dollars. This group of sports grants did not involve 100,000,000s as you claim.

From the ABC.
"So far, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pointed to the auditor's finding that all recipients were "eligible" and it was delivering "much-needed grants to local communities".
"The auditor-general found that there were no ineligible projects that were funded and that the rules were followed," he said earlier this week.
"The program of $100 million was spent on ensuring that young girls don't have to change in their parents' cars or out the back of the shed, they can have actual proper facilities in their communities.
"And I do know that these grants — all eligible, every single one of them was an eligible project, unlike what happened in the Ros Kelly affair and what happened under the previous government."
In 1994, Labor minister Ros Kelly resigned as part of the fallout relating to her own sports grants program.
Following an audit office report that was critical of the scheme, she famously gave evidence in a Parliamentary enquiry that decisions were based on a "great big whiteboard" in her office.
By emphasising that recipients under the current scheme were "eligible", Mr Morrison has sought to differentiate the current scheme from Ros Kelly's so-called "sports rorts" affair."

Josephus, Morrison has been lying through his teeth, by claiming all the projects funded were eligible. The truth;

"When Tasmanian Liberal senator Eric Abetz took over the mic at this week's Senate inquiry into allegations of sports rorts, he asked the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) to confirm the Prime Minister's well-worn statement — that all grants receiving funding were eligible."

Scott Morrison has repeatedly asserted the rebuttal in press conferences — at the National Press Club and in Parliament.

"I seek to clarify, you did find that no ineligible project or application was funded?" was the question Senator Abetz asked audit office executive Brian Boyd.

He did not get the answer he expected.

Instead, Mr Boyd revealed that 43 per cent of the projects that received funding in the $100 million program were in fact considered "INELIGIBLE".

No need to bang on about PAUL PARKER, a local hero. Nah, while the bushfires were blazing away and people like PAUL PARKER were risking their lives fighting to save other people and property, what was Liberal MP SAM DULUK up to. Good old SAM DULUK was getting pissed at a parliament house Christmas Party. Not satisfied with just being drunk while other Australians homes were burning down, DULUK was acting the jerk, slapping MLC Connie Bonaros on the behind and making inappropriate racist and homophobic comments to people at the party. Well, well, well, SAM DULUK makes PAUL PARKER look like a choir boy!

DULUK has been charged with assault.
