Sky News host Peta Credlin says the Labor Party wants to “drag out the so-called sports rorts scandal for maximum, political pain'.

Sky News host Peta Credlin says the Labor Party wants to “drag out the so-called sports rorts scandal for maximum, political pain". On Thursday Labor "managed to get the current inquiry extended to the 24th of June”. Ms Credlin said Labor tried to “make a big deal” out of the fact that “Bridget McKenzie's signature on a brief, authorising round three of these sports rorts, arrived in the department on the day the election was called”.

“Any idiot knows, or should know, decisions can be made before caretaker and then announced later,” she said. “Whenever a political party is focused on attacking the other side, its own internal issues tend to be sidelined. “The worst possible outcome from the sports rorts affair would be a Canberra culture that gives even more responsibility to unelected officials and even less to the people we actually elect to run the country.

ALP should drag LNP scandals to the maximum for sake of taxpayers. Australian people deserve to know how LNP spends taxpayers millions, and PM should be straight with Australians and tell the truth, take responsibility for his own dirty did, stop blaming his ministers and Labor

Who cares what Credlin thinks anyway. Scrapping the barrel there.

Oh that ugly face of that X sports minister😷🙄🤣😷

Worse- Libs ridiculing ALP Policy which is mostly irrelevant because (they’re not in power. How much time and money was wasted while they behaved like adolescent bullies laughing and belittling that? Work out the hourly rate of those in that room. Embarrassing

macsween_prue So is she pissed that they are doing it, or that they have taken a page out of her book and are using it against the libs lol

And what if it were Labor?

sportsrorts you bet we do

The Coalition used the public purse as a slushfund BILLIONS of dollars. 24/7 spotlight on LNPCrimeFamily LNPCorruption sportsrorts CrimeMinisterMorrison AuspolSoCorrupt

She wants everyone to just forget about the rampant corruption of it? What about the deserving clubs and associations that qualified with higher marks and were passed over for the likes of the Mosman Rowers?

Yes,they should!

Amazing work Peta, you’re all over this one! They all should be sacked, corrupt bunch of flogs the lot of them.

Yeah, the fuckers! That's our thing!

That’s because they have nothing else to do with there time

Yeah it stinks to high hell and the minister fell on her sword, but most have moved on.

Of course because there is nothing to see or talk about and we should all really be 'quiet australians' hangyourheaddownunder

what a hypocrite

Priceless! SacktheLNP LNPsportsrorts ScottyfromMarketing thisisnotjournalism auspol The only way to deal with the unfathomable LNPcorruption Is IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL. Dissolvethehouse Over 200,500 support this petition

We do

So they should. It's corruption writ large. The Morrison government is illegitimate.

Reward for causing taxpayers max financial pain.

She says that as if it’s bad thing.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

How are the opinions of your own program's host a news story?

Aaaaaah, der?

Maybe they learned that from her?

Sure do and so they should...the whole gov should resign.

She thinks....

Peta has the lobbyists is her back pocket like the current government.

It is being dragged out as the questions are not being answered. I for one need the answers.

Who?

Blatant corruption should just be swept under the carpet then? Lol

Well so it should its a complete mal use of our money that should have been spent on regional Australia and the purpose of the grants as outlined by Sport Australia. It should keep going until we have the whole story.

FederalICAC with teeth now auspol

Yep. We should all demand full investigation of all this sham government's corruption. Those responsible, the Ministers, their apparatchiks and lobbyists, should be held to account. This PM must go. His actions are true to his record, for which he was sacked twice. LNP must go.

That’s right

Well bowl me over with a feather

Not interested in who is or isn’t making a big deal of SportsRort - I want to know what actually fucking happened.

Yeah why can’t they just be cool about it.

Peta Credlin - no morals, no hinesty no decency and guess who dragged out their lies about the Carbon PRICE deliberatedly for so long! She is a disgrace!

For political gain? How dreadful! Imagine!

Well, Peta knows one thing or two about dragging out things for maximum political pain.

so they should you deserve the pain

Extreme corruption.

As opposed to her self confessed confected weaponisation of the “carbon tax”? Such an incredile lack of self awareness

OMG Really. I think it’s Labour’s duty to thrash it and thrash it.

How’s about honesty and openness ......2 things they have no idea about.....next they’ll be burning books to change how history is remembered......sound familiar

Why do I always get the impression that Bridget McKenzie needs a good night's sleep?

That’s partly true... but CORRUPTION auspol FedICAC

Why not. The BS gets thicker and the stench from the lnp swamp gets worse every day and will continue until they fess up to this fraud.

The (correctly-called) sports rorts scandal is of interest to more than the ALP. All Australians are entitled to transparency around where OUR money was spent, and whether OUR money was used to support the Coalition’s interests rather than the country’s.

Who wouldn't They're ALL CORRUPT!! AuspolSoCorrupt as is Corporate owned media.

So they should

No shit..... any why not?

What the fuck does PetaCredlin know? She's irrelevant now. Can only hold a job on SlyNews

and so they should!

It's Labor's fault!

With the help of the fake news media!

And so they should. Scott Morrison is dodgy. Time for this to end. scottyfromsportsrorts auspol

Gosh. This is “news” on Sky? You are kidding.

.. showing your skin there

Maybe we want the truth highlighted, people/politicians to take responsibility, and the places that missed out because of LNP lies should be funded.

The ALP & their loyal socialist media supporters and protection machine are all complete hypocritical pissants.

Gee, even the Black Witch calls it the 'Sports Rort Scandal'. I thought Labor wanted to get to the truth of the matter and the LNP were fighting a rearguard action to prevent that 🤔

Credlin's hypocrisy is breathtaking. The 'sports rort scandal' is corruption writ large and it's the Opposition's job to ensure that the government does *not* get away with it. It must never happen again & Labor are also on notice AlboMP

And so they should!

Sky news needs to be banned , credlin and your other right wing facist “journalists” have zero credibility 😡

The one who lied to us for years of the Carbon Tax non lie now thinks corruption is normal Well, it always has been in some circles.

Credlin and Abbott 'dragged out' climate change denial and destroyed positive efforts at bi-partisan policy for 6 years. Credibility = less than zero. Back to your RWNJ echo chamber.

No wonder they call credlin a political mastermind

AKA accountability

Interesting theory Peta 'Carbon Tax' Credlin. Interesting theory.

There’s this thing that’s the main part of the role of the Opposition... what is that again? Hmmm the clue is in the name.

CARBON TAX THEM NOW! Oh sorry .. different period

Or maybe we want to get to the bottom of the rort I guess we could look at the 600k drought report, 80mill water purchase, document fraud, etc. It really is a smorgasbord of corruption isnt it

Good so do the people of Oz

She's correct, and hopefully bring down this incompetent corrupt Govt. The Australian people didn't vote for the garbage being served up.

No shit Sherlock, what LNP would just the Labor party walk on by! Nice observations Peta

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

Just like the Abbott/Credlin bullshit carbon tax scare campaign that dragged on for six months,remember?

macsween_prue Good SportsRort auspoI

What like what happened with Pink Betts and the Carbon Tax? Pretty sure you ran both of those disgraces Peta?

And that’s wrong for why? Hold the most corrupt government in Australian history to account.

We all know that CrimeMinisterMorrison is lying. Any debate is shut down by the minister for I move the member no longer be heard. What an amazing insight...

Ahem.... 👇👇

Unlike the LNP who instigated the sports rorts scandal for maximum political GAIN

Yeah, because the LNP would never do anything like that. Political skullduggery is not at all in their heritage. eyeroll auspol

So what, it will come nowhere near the disgusting coup d'état of the LNP against Whitlam. Hope they suffer perpetually for all the fraud and corruption they have visited on the Australian people!

Well, yes, they probably do want to hold the government to account for their open corruption Actual journalists were doing the same Note that Sky isn't in that category

Corruption is corruption. Sunlight disinfects

No. The Australian Government has lied & rorted the system. The Australian Government must be held to account for their corruption. But you know that, don’t you! auspol

Perhaps her favorite team should avoid being champion rorters?

Where there is corruption especially when in involves taxpayers payers money ,. People want to know every single detail. I don’t get her point . Don’t the people have a right to answers .

Yep, we want those who abuse our political system and use taxpayer dollars as their own personal money, removed from parliament and processed in the courts.

dazza_double_u And what’s wrong with that? (Apart from the ‘so called’)

And why not ? The so called government of ScottMorrisonMP used the program for maximum political gain prior to the election and did so unlawfully. AlboMP is right to keep up the pressure on the fraudulent distribution of those grants.

Of course they do, why wouldn't they? Ripping off the taxpayer and all those clubs that missed out is terrible and it needs to be called out. Or would you rather this becomes standard behaviour for Australian politicians?

Peta Credlins mouth opens and shit flows out. OK, I get it. scroll down

If the Opposition had done this would be screeching like a

Sky news can suck my booty hole

ElaineM11584892 Oh boo hoo.

$100m of our tax $ corruptly misappropriated for political gain. No admission of guilt No apology No reassurance it won't happen again CrimeMinisterMorrison acts like It's done. It's not. This is why the media won't let it lie, nor should they. consequences

And?

I just hope Labor aren’t so invested in this that they take their focus off ensuring govt is doing everything required to ensure Australians are protected from Covid19

Oh dear....PETA, PETA PETA!

Who do you reckon actually cares what she thinks outside of the liberal party bubble?.

What about it being pork barrelling to win an election

Yes well, petal, it looks corrupt.

Peta Credlin? 🤥

Ahhh...YES because - Home insulation scandle; Carbon price; etc

Doh! I finally realized why it's called Sky News.....Pie in the Sky News & clutching at thin air!!

no need to drag anything out rorts on this scale have their own momentum

No wonder why Abbott failed.

Yeah, well, she would say that. Where is her excoriating analysis and call for accountability? You know it is only NOT happening due to her political bias.

Peta Credlin, the lady who admitted the carbon tax wasn't a tax even though she mislead many voters into buying that lie? I probably wouldn't listen to her...

🤔🤔🤔😏🤮🤢

Whereas the Liberals decided to escalate public panic about the corona virus just to keep it out of the headlines. Which is worse?

Peta Credlin has not lost any of her political savvy ( maybe some pride sharing with Jones) Shoe on other foot moment ! What would the Libs do if it was Labor rorting ? Wait ! They did years ago , dragged it out for max political gain !!! This is FAR WORSE lied to Parliament also

I suspect she is right as usual.

Duh. Yeah...I suppose the LNP would let Labor get away with the smame thing!?

Peta Credlin attacking a political party for trying to gain political advantage by dragging out an issue is just beyond parody

Me: Let's see what Peta has to say... *clicks link* Me:

Of course the LNP would never dream of taking political advantage given the opportunity 🤥 As usual, the SKY commentariat treats the average Aussie as a moron, all for political advantage.

Credlin has zero credibility as a pathetic propaganda show for right wing conservative rubbish

How old are you pitiful street urchins ? Do you think that any of you will get a real life any time soon ? Stop thieving the food out of the mouths of Australia most vulnerable, living large on Australia poverty stricken, and go get real jobs !!! Media included !

Oh, I hope so. Let's not pretend the pain is undeserved. Oh, and while we're talking politicisation let's focus on politicising the grants process, shall we? auspol

That 'election' needs a UN review. Any other recourse ?

If only there was a Federal ICAC. auspol sportsrorts

oh, she means like she and Abbott did with Peter Slipper? How long did witch hunt go on again? years? There's quite a difference between hundreds of millions and $900.

God she’s dull

As soon as they (including the PM) hand themselves into the police, Labor would be right to back off auspol thisisnotjournalism

Good...?

Thank you Ms Obvious

If there wasn't so much filth to uncover it would have been over in January. Don't blame Labor for the LNPs corruption.

Jeeze PetaCredlin .... shoe on other foot & your LNP mob would have done what exactly? Hmmm? SportsRort

If anyone knows maximum political pain, it is Peta (Cruella) Credlin. Remember Carbon Tax?

And so they should until this corruption is dealt with... Good on them I say..

News Flash!! Peta Credlin shocked a political party is using her, chief of staff, strategy that coached Abott to drag out “Carbon Tax scare” for years while in opposition to effectively destabilize leadership and governing parties. Difference is, there’s evidence for these rorts.

What a genius

Has Credlin noticed that ice is cold too? Don’t you have pedophiles to defend or something?

She should wake up and smell the corruption

I've always been confused as to why you're allowed to have 'News' in your title. It would be like me advertising as 'Test Match Opening Batsman.' I'd like to be but I've no idea, in reality.

This Peta? 👇👇👇

Yeah, nah. Most people just want some real accountability. Not for shit to be swept under the carpet

Which is exactly what deeply biased Liberal muppet Peta Cretin would do if the shoe was on the other foot.

Wouldn’t you?

Corruption needs consequences!

Wouldn’t it be great if politicians made decisions for the betterment of us as Australians rather than their own self interest and the pitiful game of politics - we deserve better

better than trying to cope with the Virus and other pressing problems

No. Just till we get some HONESTY

dazza_double_u Well of course they do as would LNP if they had something

Not so. They want to get to the bottom of this rotten behaviour by Morrison and Co. she is just trying to cover for her mates

Only result we want is all of the Crooked LNP GONE!

Why shouldn't they?

Just like Credlin lied about carbox tax !! Taste your own medicine.. hypocrite.

Well why not it stinks of corruption on an industrial scale auspol

Maximum political pain is my brain hurting every time Sky news has an opinion

This sounds like a Chaser headline. If Morrison’s government stopped rorting, perhaps people would stop talking about it?!! It would be a start at least!

What a ridiculous take on demonstrable criminality. In the face of irrefutable evidence, all can do is say “this is going on a bit long isn’t it?”. We’re talking about democratically elected goons using that power to pad their own wallets. You’re not journalists.

Peta Credlin is a flog and shame on you for giving her and Bolt a platform for their biased rubbish. Garbage people and garbage cable channels should just get in the dumpster and stay there.

what next ?......bank robbery .....jewelry heists ?.....drug running ?.....or just more sports rorts and corruption ?.......oh but it's Labor fault for pointing out what they are doing is wrong ? 🤣

Duh.

Well she’d know She’s got form in dragging out an effective line of attack on a government At least in this case the attacks are based on reality

auspol credlin says the 'so-called' news host who's really just a propagandavirus

No its to expose lies and deliberate fraud...thats all!

Clever woman our Peta, what the hell would the LNP do if the corruption was on the Labor side, hypocrite.

a. Of course. b. It's in response to the drip of information because the government is trying to hide it. The alternate option was to dump it all out there and wear the pain with the Minister's resignation and attempt to move on.

Good girl. Have a sugar lump.

FFS! It's about fraud. It's about using taxpayers money to buy votes. It's anti-democratic and disgraceful. It's enough to topple a Prime Minister. sportsrorts

Yep just like the bullsh!t your beloved LNP peddaled out .. death taxes franking credits misi formation.

Credlin says the Labor Party wants to “drag out the so-called sports rorts scandal for maximum, political pain'. Is that a bad thing?

They will do best to drag it out. There’s more to be uncovered.

They learnt from the best.

It's called accountability, Peta.

Since when do stories on sky news just come from the presenters. Like do you guys actually interview credible people for stories? What’s the point of this news station?

The people demand it

Or...as reasonable people put it-holding the government to account

No Peta. It’s just that the lnp is not trustworthy. Not anyone’s fault but theirs. Try again soon Peta.

Oh so nothing wrong about regional Australia members not caring that regional grants went to north Sydneyn and etc? It's okay that regional Australia ministers don't care because no one else does! Except Labor by the looks of it. But let's not spoil a sky headline.

Seems like a reasonable tactic

Lol your murdocracy propaganda outlets cant cover up all the LNP corruption. Deal with it. Worst puppet government we have ever had.

LNPCorruption sportsrorts NotMyPM WeDamandARefund FakePrimeMinister JailMorrison

and so do the public!

And this person is worthy of quoting? Also interesting juxtaposition of comment and photograph

Peta Credlin is a mine of information isn’t she?

Laugh my ass off!! “Being dragged out” = the crims are subverting the truth... oh, which also equals treason. Sooooooo why aren’t they in jail? auspol2020

Remember when Peta Credlin lied about carbon tax...so she's all about lying oh and a drunk driver..

And the LNP rorters want to cover it up , corruption thrives on secrecy. LNPCorruption

petacredlin wants labor the independents and crossbench to ignore the lnp's obvious corruption and lies which were intended to dupe the public into giving them an election win they did not deserve. There fixed your tweet skynews

yep cause its a major corruption scandal

dazza_double_u Petal Credlin as usual...

Rightly so

Good to see she is trying her stand up routine on air. Only problem no one is laughing.

Wow. How wicked! Peta, from a very crowded field, you still win today’s Foolish Unnecessary Comment Klutz Of False Facts award (better known by its initials, hint: fornicate elsewhere).

Well, she’d know all about doing that, wouldn’t she.

So you are happy to Cover up Corruption and Pork Barreling

Lol...she’s a genius!

Given sports rort was only the first horse out of the gate, shouldn't we, for accuracy, just call it election rort? Corruption is shorter.

Well spotted

You must be new here. It's just brutal retail politics.

Only fitting for Labor to demand transparency, after LiberalAus Scott Morrison “government” dragged down integrity+credibility by stealing+mismanaging taxpayer money for *maximum political gain.*

boycottmurdoch Political pain? THEY RIPPED OFF THE FCKING COUNTRY!!! How about you report the truth.

Or 'politics' as it's otherwise known as....So they should 'drag it out..' We have a corrupt government. That will eventually be found out. Yet sky wants to blame Labor for calling it out. Great work. Keep it up...imbeciles.

Ummmm, The Govt has been found rorting hundreds of millions of dollars. Credlin & Abbott used the carbon price, which lowered emissions, for maximum political pain. Does think we all have amnesia? auspol

Screams the Coalition mouthpiece from her biased Murdoch-owned media pulpit. Heaven forbid the public and the opposition should demand answers and hold her best buds to account for beyond blatant corruption.

Drag-out = make accountable to the public it serves. Stop thinking Morrison is Snowwhite. Impropriety requires scrutiny!

No different to Ros Kelly SPORTS RORTS 1994; why is this current one worse?

They should be in court

Sky News is an oxymoron

I think I hat you meant to say is that Australians want to drag out the culprits of this massive scandal. It’s obvious that it is involves those from the top of what is laughably called a government, & it’s obvious that it shows their moral values. They have none, neither do you.

Is Peta new to politics?

No way

Skynews wants to minimise corruption, fraud and election cheating cos it got the regime it wanted and it should blow over soon..

Well derr brainiac. Libs would do the same. This is a corrupt govt. Who watches this pointless one sided commentary?

Keep dragging, no one is listening

I hope so.

Umm... well, yeah. ALP are the opposition. Their job is to hold the government to account. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

Clearly they've learned from the master of successful opposition. Ask yourself what would Tony do. And then do it.

Well taxpayers want answers Peta. ScottMorrisonMP should man up & take responsibility for the sportsrorts

LOL .... Attack dog Credlin .... the great commentator ....

Horrible woman

'Drag out' discussion of unprecedented corrupt and total impunity for the Coalition? Yeah, it needs to be 'dragged out' until the bloody justice is done. Credlin is nothing more than a immoral Coalition apparatchik with no credibility, a member of the Coalition Mafia. auspol

Gee. That's bad. Sounds like something Tony might have been advised to do. Do they call that projection?

Do your work media and expose them. Up to us to remove them from office next election.

Yet the LNP still blame Labor after nearly 7 years in power... Scomo did it again just last week. ScottyfromMarketing sportsrorts

How dare the opposition want the Government's corruption exposed! sportsrorts sportrorts auspol AuspolSoCorrupt NewsCorpse

And they should keep going until you crooks are gone.

Yes just like the LiberalAus The_Nationals do now. That still bang in about when AustralianLabor was in government yet it’s been 7 years

Did she work that out all by herself. Wow.

Of course Labor would never do anything like that. auspoI

Gosh!

Calling out corruption, isn't that the oppositions responsibility?

Some of the public do too. There's little accountability with this Govt. That needs to change.

So they want to hold the government accountable for being in the wrong? Like a good opposition should. If the shoe were on the other foot would Credlin be throwing this tantrum?

So I guess she would prefer we all forget about it and move on?

Yep, what’s wrong with that? They’re finally doing their job.

This is akin to heresy but to protect the sensitivity of all the Liberal recipients of those hard earned tax dollars we should just be quiet, is Peta's recommendation. There is no confidence that the Government can govern effectively so let it continue? Is she for real?

Did Lennon know you Peta?

It’s called politics Peta; that’s what you do🤔

Well, they sure as shit don’t want it to be disappear.

This from the witch who invented the the Carbon Tax. The LNP got plenty of mileage out of that lie auspol

Seems to me the only one's dragging sportsrorts out are the crooks who robbed taxpayers money to the tune of 100s of millions of dollars for their own political gain and won't resign.

Just like her opposition banged on with the lie that Labor was introducing a carbon tax. The thing is the LNP did rort commonwealth funding and Credlin has admitted she and Abbott lied about the ETS.

So Credlin thinks it’s ok for this to go on...What a hypocrite..

Credlin is one sour Murdoch supporting

hilarious.... so they should ! what Scummo did is theft .....fraud ....it’s disgraceful.

Look, if expecting the ScottMorrisonMP LiberalAus government—a political party that is corrupt from the head down—to be held to account for its record-breaking levels of deceit and corruption is dragging out sportsrorts for maximum political gain, then yes. auspol

Is corruption OK then Peta? Or only when it is your team that is cheating?

I'll just fix that up for you: 'auspol says the Coalition manipulated the sports grants program for maximum political gain'.

Keep dragging it out I say, over and over and over.

Peta Credlin, she’s a dead set genius for working that out. Clowns don’t all have colourful make up..

Or to protect the basic aspects of a democracy in a developed nation.

Good!

Such blatant corruption in this government. But Peta condones it because it was done by the political party she supports. She is a well spoken puppet who toes the party line of whoever pays her wages

petacredlin I watched some incredible woman today on thedrum so refreshing, then I here this name, I can only assume she has hung around too much of the old guard shit within politics...just a repulsive excuse for a human...sorry ladies

Hah! Why not highlight corruption, incompetence, mismanagement, rorting & illegality? It’s our government! Naturally it should act with integrity - big LNP fail here! Seems they’re not so good at managing the economy! Poor Peta, how will she sleep tonight! Worrying abt LNP 😉

So it should! Can u imagine LNP outrage if it was Labor! Corrupr biased Credlin is backing the racist bigoted horse! LNP have chosen to be the most inept & corrupt government in history! They should be hounded out of office! Only Palmer saved them! LNP destroying democracy!

But, how good is corruption, if you're LNP and in government...

Their political pain is self inflicted ffs

so-called?

'Our presenter, Peta Credlin, is a member of the Liberal Party, and sadly, it's her job right now to pretend that this unprecedented corruption and criminal activity by the Morrison government is no big deal, and then to attack Labor over it We wish her luck'. Fixed it for you.

I think the libs would if it was labor.

When the CrimeMinister resigns then then the grip on his nuts will loosen ....... agreed Peta?

Imagine if it was the other way! What would be the Sky News headline?

So instead of sky news tweeting something about the rorting corrupt dishonest criminals that rigged an election they chose to have a go at the ALP. disgusting but typical. boycottmurdoch

Sharp as a tack that one petacredlin

Labour loves low hanging fruit

😂😂😂And you’d like too think rorting taxpayers money is more important than governing for the people! Typical Dictatorship line from Murdoch Propaganda puppets

So after skynewsaust defended paedophilia on television, they now defend corruption! This farce of a media platform is a conscience free zone! Sociopaths skynewsaustSoCorrupt AuspolSoCorrupt

Genius Peta! And the LNP tortured for the same reason and want to shut commentary down..... Oh..... For the same reason. And people pay good money for this?

Peta Cretin .... Rotfl ....😂😂😂😂😂

PETA CREDLIN

Fancy that! Now, why would that be?

Fuckin aye

Goes to character and culture

Peta Credlin is without credibility when she reckoned any lie told by Abbott and herself et al was just 'retail politics'. She a freaking hypocrite.

MIRACLE INVESTIGATOR needed - SIGN UP NOW auspol FederalICAC

And so they should, because this is what they deserve.

She’s a genius!

Said a very insightful Peta.. lol

Well Murdoch would be the expert in doing that. Remember Peter Slipper for his $964 And like Peter Slipper it would have been a lot quicker if the all the details were known up front. The LNPCrimeFamily could simply open the books and it would go away in a week.

Remember the lie, Peta? The one about the Carbon Tax. The one you admitted on Sky that it was a lie. How long did you get Abbott to drag that out? Any comments on Frydenberg mocking Hindu and Buddhist Religions? I am sure you would if Judaism was being mocked.

Peta Credlin, the so-called political tactician (and drunk driver) that gave us the 15 miserable minutes of the dishonorable HonTonyAbbott being PM. lol auspol 🔥 🚗 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

This rorting government deserves nothing less. Bring it on.

Accountability is a bitch.

Credlin lacks credibility. Sadly she seems to be the only person who doesn’t understand it.

😂😂😂 You spelt gain wrong. Heads need to roll as a matter of legality.

'So-called' sports rort for goodness sake how much evidence does she need.

GCobber99 And?

Former LNP adviser Peta Credlin, you mean.

Yes, obviously they should just ignore it and let the government continue to abuse their power uninhibited by regulations, legislation, conventions and protocols. Those are only to be adhered to by Labor, and if they should stray from them, they shall be hounded from office.

This is an own goal by the lnp it’s so blatantly obvious they are crooks

So you all don’t care that the corrupt behaviour is rife in this government.

Like she wouldn’t be doing exactly the same thing if the situation was reversed... Sickening woman.

Well, “duh”! I mean, what would Tony have done? Daft mung bean.

She’s so astute

Credlin is a genius 🙄

Yep. Certainly hope so.

No worries. Can we also send them to prison please.

The LNP wants to avoid investigation into sportsrorts for political gain.

You bet they Do ! 😂

ThisisRaysBlog Derr

Maybe they just want to get to the truth - that the LNP is corrupt to its insipid core.

Yeah, and? What's your point?

Maybe if the government came clean with the actual facts, it would all go away. In a year or two.

iDGiam Credlin was the master at dragging out scandals for political pain pinkbatts auspol

We-eee are never ever getting back together We-eee are never ever getting back together We-eee are never ever getting back together We-eee are never ever getting back together We-eee are never ever getting back together We-eee are never ever getting back together

As they should... Credlin is saying, corruption is OK. Fraud is normal & it's all acceptable brake the rules, ignore boundaries & pervert the course of action for personal & political gain at the expense of everyone else .... She belongs in gaol

Straight from the Credlin playbook yeah?

With insights like this it's a shame she is not in a position of influence

And as if no political party has ever done that in the past...

Billions worth of rorts including Helloworld, GBRF, Paladin, Sportrorts and more. But Peta’s former boss Tony went after Peter Slipper for $900 worth of Cabcharges. I can see your balance of reporting shining through on Sky

And the Libs/Nats are just trying to brazen it out and hope we all forget about it.

GCobber99 No we want to see a full public enquiry and charges laid. I will be bring the knitting needles who’s bring the wool ?

GCobber99 I've reduced my pain of seeing LNP stooges like Peta Credlin by cancelling my Foxtel so I don't have to see anymore. auspol ausmedia

And once again she'd be wrong. There is corruption to the core of this rotten Government and individuals must be held responsible.

Wow, thanks for such valuable insight

Until proper accountability is seen to be enacted. Heads can roll freely!

You don't need that comma.

Maybe like the rest of Australia they want justice for LNP theft of public money.

Again with this 'unelected officials' nonsense. Statutory bodies exist to ensure that decisions AREN'T political. That is why this sportsrorts scandal isn't going away; no matter how desperately some former political hacks might wish it. auspol

Ok for Peta to peddle the carbon tax LIE - but doesn’t like the TRUTH about Coalition CORRUPTION being exposed? Really?Really?

Make him answer.

What’s her real name when not in drag?

You Bet and so they should

Because it is maximum theft ... and deserves all involved to be sacked

Or accountability perhaps? ThisIsNotJournalism boycottmurdoch

Good.

Yeah, imagine trying to 'drag out' an open & shut case of scandalously corrupt rorting which directly involves the PM & which he continues to lie about. Why can't they just be good Quiet Australians and shut up about it?

I want them to drag it out for maximum political pain also

Incredible opinion. Because drags on society like you would love to see it just dissappear so you can continue with maximum political corruption right?

Now who did they learn that from Peta?

You get paid for this hard hitting insight?

Gee you get the smart ones Sky.

Or because it’s upholding the Westminster system which is now out the window apparently

The ScottyFromMarketting govt has misspent millions of Aust taxpayers money. Try reporting it. LNPCrimeFamily LNPCorruption

Wow ! That's an incredible insight. I can't believe I don't watch your channel.

So they should until someone is in jail

Devastating insight to the political machinations in Canberra there Peta murdochracy auspol

Something Peta would never have recommended, I'm certain.

And so they bloody should!

This is why she gets the big bucks baby.

Lol well yes of course LNP are criminals and so are you , you should be in jail

Red Hot Analysis there. “Political party seeks to gain advantage from flagrant corrupt government action “ Absolutely smoked it. Well done. Money earned is twice as sweet.

The Media's reporting these scandals, idiots... ALP doing it's duty by rightly wanting some answers to the MEDIA's alligations/reports!!!!!

Corrupt government in Australian history

Um? …..Yep, sounds fair to me!

He is right

No! We want the fucking answers!

Labour are using the sports funding affair to deflect scrutiny from questions about their own inept policies. If you survey the ‘pubs’ of Oz no one gives a stuff about it, it’s old news but Labour sitting in their own swamp trying to throw mud and hoping it will stick. Really 😤

if you don't watch the news or hear it CORONA VIRUS doesn't exist. Man made BIOLOGICAL WARFARE MAN MADE BIOCHEMICAL WARFARE. MOCKING BIRD MK ULTRA Q QUESTION EVERYTHING Q MAGNIFYING GLASS BIASED BS NEWS NUMBERS THAT APPEAR ALL THE TIME 3,6,9,11,13,18,21,22,23,33,38,44

It's not like sportsrorts was the corrupt misuse of $100m of taxpayer's money or anything Peta... but you do you, never letting the public interest get in the way of cheering for the Liberal party...I wonder why your ratings suck?

so they should. Who trusts a Politician. Who trusts a Government with lying POLITICIANS. Sneaky deceptive lying, muppets for the top 1%

Peta is a bloody hypocrite

Of course she did. I hope it's very very painful. They have effectively stolen our money to buy their jobs.

If Smoko, Josh and the test of the corrupt rabble stealing taxpayer money to buy elections resigned the scandal would be over pretty quickly.

The shoe on the other foot seems an applicable phrase here

It's called being held accountable for criminal behaviour. It's called ensuring integrity, or at least trying to! It's called being a decent fucking person and having decent fucking standards - but you people would not understand that. auspol CrimeMinisterMorrison

And so they should, it doesn’t get any more corrupt than this! Actually, I’m sure Barnaby_Joyce and AngusTaylorMP are as bad if not worse. auspol.

Who ?

Peta Credlin? Tony’s Handmaiden? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This issue would stop the moment the politicians involved did the honorable thing and resigned. This conduct is not honorable or becoming of an Australian MP These politicians and the PM are bringing the Australian Parliament into disrepute.

Just like you did PETA for crap like the Carbon pricing suck it up princess

I don't care why Labor is doing it. I want to know if the PM is lying.

But there is no gain. Their base is the only one listening. Who is giving the ALP advice . cause that person has to be a conservative plant. I have never seen an opposition get it so consistently wrong . policy up or die . it's that simple. Running negs will not get you there.

Peta the pumpkin eater, targets another bad fruit within the whole spectrum within the political sovereign citizens,,left or right,,,but right is always right huh?

And why wouldn't they? It's blatant corruption.

As they should! Labor should be attacking, putting up a Federal ICAC and going to town with the lazy stupid LNP.. AND why in earth does anyone listen to dopey petacretin anyway.. she has no Cred! Was just a public servant, an admin assistant.. Pathetic! auspol

PM faces fresh scrutiny over role in sports rorts scandal | Sky News AustraliaA parliamentary inquiry into the persisting sports rorts saga will resume this morning, as the Prime Minister faces fresh scrutiny over the role his office played in approving grants.\n\nDocuments released to the inquiry showed 136 emails were sent between the offices of Scott Morrison and then-Sports Minister Bridget McKenzie. \n\nThe documents were reportedly colour-coded showing the distribution of grants by electorate and political party. \n\nThe auditor-general found the scheme was biased in targeting seats the party wanted to win. \n\nLabor leader Anthony Albanese ramped up his attack on Wednesday, accusing the prime minister of lying about his level of involvement in the scheme. \n\n“The prime minister claimed his only involvement was to pass along information so why has the audit office told the Senate today that there were 136 emails going back and forth between the prime minister’s office and Bridget Mckenzie’s office?” he said. \n\nMeanwhile, a Victorian roller derby club is demanding funding retrospectively, given they scored 98 out of 100 in the Sport Australia sport eligibility criteria. \n\nImage: Getty It is clear to everyone what happened here. Yet the PM will not acknowledge any problem at all and continues his attempt to manipulate the facts. Very sad for Australia as a Nation really! How do we Rid the ingrained Corruption from our Government. this must be referred to the AFP and AEC for criminal investigation and impact to the May 2019 election outcome. auspoI newscomauHQ centre_alliance JacquiLambie OneNationAus
