Emails reveal Morrison office's role in $100 million sports grants program

"All we did was provide information based on the representations made to us as every prime minister has always done," Mr Morrison said last month.

"The Leader of the Opposition is trying to throw mud when he sits in an absolute swamp," Mr Morrison said.ANAO said there were 136 emails between the Prime Minister's office and Senator McKenzie's office about the program in the six months before 11 April last year, the day the writs were issued for the federal election and the government went into "caretaker" mode.

"On 10 April 2019 the minister wrote to the Prime Minister attaching printouts of two worksheets within the spreadsheet – the list of projects she intended to approve for round three funding and the worksheet with the summary tables ," the ANAO said.

CroweDM Just because ScottMorrisonMP rejects claims of corruption leveled against him doesn't make them go away. The noose is getting tighter. How did we ever get to this level of deceit? Nothing miraculous about buying an election win with massive amounts of taxpayer money.

CroweDM Truman rated as one of the worst of a bad bunch of Presidents - but he did have a catch phrase of some note - The Buck Stops Here - ScoMo - if you can't control or take responsibility of the position, move aside son - We do deserve better you know.

CroweDM ScottyfromMarketing did a deal; not only did he not use his own money but he used yours and mine ; gave out favours n bribes ; will quickly adjust anything headachey like legals and AFP will go on to win another election cause that biz in Straya.....

CroweDM Over to you Mandy. auspol

CroweDM Of course he will if he dose that will be the end of him

CroweDM How can anyone trust a single thing this Government has to say. It's a disgrace, they can't manage anything. Ask why he lost his last two roles in tourism, it was the same reason - mismanagement. Now we all suffer from this incompetence, and many more will die because of it.

CroweDM He’s gotta look after the hands that feed him alright!

CroweDM He knows!

CroweDM 😡😡😡😡

CroweDM Liar from the shire

CroweDM Never have I despised anyone as much as this lying corrupted wanker 😡😡😡 how dare he and his government think they are above the law and don’t owe us tax payers an explanation

CroweDM Workers/Unions not above the Laws. Governments at all levels and governments authorities,business seemed to be above the laws, full force of laws and enforced on others. That`s clearly evidences concrete facts, Why Coalition and Government authority,not want Integrity Commission

CroweDM Corruption corruption corruption: it’s the only way the lnp knows.

CroweDM I reject the premise of his rejection.

CroweDM He's a liar and a cheat, not PM material.

CroweDM I hope that: The ALP bothers to clean their cupboard too & support an anti-corruption body. That such a body applies retrospective legislation & the feds goes after all the the LNP & ALP corruption over the past 2 decades. That a unicorm visits my house for a tea party.

CroweDM Crooked Liberal Party! Should be in jail, not government auspol

cathywilcox1 CroweDM But his e-mails...

CroweDM Nothing to do but rake up muck?

CroweDM I was just confronted by my manager. She said they had a string of emails proving I'd embezzled millions from the company. I rejected her claim outright, so that's that. I'm off to the pub, my shout!

cathywilcox1 CroweDM 'This isn't new corruption, this is the old corruption you already made claims about.'

CroweDM Did he reject the premise of the question ?

CroweDM How the hell can he reject the claims? All the bloody evidence points towards his office, hence him. If he says he didn’t see any emails he’s either lying or incompetent.

cathywilcox1 CroweDM I... am not... a crook.

CroweDM Guilty

CroweDM Of course he has

CroweDM Man he thinks Australians are stupid, maybe as a whole we are, considering he is an elected Prime Minister.

CroweDM Scomo so funny

CroweDM None of the email was from Scott Morrison. But good attempt at smear 🤪

It’s not needed. CanberraCamper Michael Kirby is a credible, principled, decent man. If he says discrimination can be 'weaponised by religious institutions against non-believers' I'm inclined to believe him.
