Bridget McKenzie Facing Calls To Resign

Zali Steggall wants national ICAC after sports rorts scandal


January 17, 2020
Brisbane Times


Independent MP Zali Steggall wants to push ahead with a national anti-corruption body after comparing the Morrison government's $100 million sports grants scandal to the Australian cricket team's ball-tampering disgrace.   Sad

The Warringah MP says the Coalition's politicisation of a $100 million community sports grant program is "disgusting" and joined Labor's call for former federal sports minister Bridget McKenzie to resign.


Agriculture Minister Bridge McKenzie is facing calls to resign over the way she handed out grant funding sports clubs in marginal seats.

An independent review found Senator McKenzie's office awarded most of the grants to seats being targeted by the coalition during the election last year.

A $500,000 grant was given to the Mosman Rowing Club in Ms Steggall's seat of Warringah, as the coalition tried to save former prime minister Tony Abbott from defeat.


"She's completely lost if she doesn't think she needs to acknowledge that there's something wrong with cheating kids and community sports clubs ... I just think it's disgusting," Ms Steggall told ABC radio on Friday.   Sad

Senator McKenzie is refusing to apologise, insisting no rules were broken.


Calls for senior federal minister to step down

There are calls for senior federal minister Bridget McKenzie to step down after being accused of running a $100 million slush fund targeting marginal seats.


Ms Steggall took aim at Scott Morrison and compared him to former Australian cricket captain Steve Smith, who served a one-year ban for failing to stop cheating within his team.

"We saw the outcry with the cricketers, and they took responsibility, they acknowledged where they had gone wrong and where their standards had slipped," Ms Steggall said.


"The standards of the members of your team, they're a direct reflection on the standards of you as a captain. It's just quite concerning that is what they think is acceptable conduct.

"We really need a national integrity commission, there needs to be some accountability. How low are you prepared to let the standard drop."

Senator McKenzie found support from frontbench colleague Peter Dutton who said she shouldn't have to resign.   Sad

"None of those clubs that received that money have been found ineligible," Mr Dutton told the Nine Network.


"I've been in the parliament a little while, I can remember the years in opposition where the Labor minister, the Labor candidate, the Labor senator, would come out and make announcements for funding in your local community.

"This isn't anything new in that sense. Now we'll have a look at the auditor-general's report, obviously, but none of those clubs, very deserving sporting clubs, have been found ineligible.

"The money has gone out – not against recommendations, not to clubs that weren't deserving of it – but to clubs that are trying to get small kids in."

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese said Senator McKenzie's position as minister is "untenable".

"She made political decisions based upon the marginality of electorates," he told reporters in Melbourne.

What a team BlackDay and the loony Greeny.

Zali Steggles Chicken has the credibility of a cadaver.

They are all SO excited about GetUp!'s new FAKE NEWS.

But it will all soon be forgotten just like all the other silly GetUp! clumsy amateurish FAKE NEWS.

Can you hear "Beetroot Barnaby's" lips smacking together trying to stir this to impossible heights?    If the Bridget gets the boot, who will be at the front of the line panting to take her place - you guessed it - Our Barns!      Slowly and quietly, he will then turn the knife on McCormack until he is back in the big chair again.  He must be creaming his jeans over this.

Gillard - Investigated, several times, and cleared each time

Shorten -investigated and found to be no case against him

Thommo-  investigated and once found wanting was immediately kicked out of the party

Slipper - a typical corrupt liberal wanker who was nominated for party pre selection 12 times (?) by the libs despite them knowing about his illegalities

McKenzie-  investigated, been found wanting, but is still being protected by the libs instead of being shown the door. If the libs history is a guide, she'll continue to be nominated for 12 more elections



see the differences yet? Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Is anyone surprised that none of the pro-Coalition posters have condemned McKenzie's misconduct?
