'More smoking guns than a Clint Eastwood movie': Labor mounts pressure on Bridget McKenzieLabor is ramping up its calls for Bridget McKenzie to be sacked from the government ministry as federal politicians prepare for the first sitting week of the year. What is 'being sacked' though? They step down from ministry for a while, then come back. & What about Morrison whose Dept was directing it, & cabinet who signed off on it? Sacking McKenzie alone would be weak justice & a cover up. Why are ALP using their position in gov to play politics instead of working for their constituents? Seems pretty hypocritical She needs to bring down with her the other pathetic disgraced MPs and PM with her... at least she would be remembered for something.
