The report found major problems with how projects were funded under the Regional Jobs and Investment Packages program, which was a 2016 Coalition election commitment. "I understand the government do make decisions about this, it's a discretionary program, but when something is deemed ineligible that seems to me very unusual," the Labor MP said. Image: Getty

Americans need 'transparency' on Trump's tax returns before 2020 election | Sky News AustraliaSenior Fellow of the US Studies Centre Bruce Wolpe says there could be a court decision with a final resolution as to whether Trump’s tax returns need to be turned over to the city of New York before the 2020 election.\n\nUS President Donald Trump has lost an appeal to keep his tax returns secret after a grand jury in Manhattan rejected the idea he had immunity as president. \n\nThe Manhattan District Attorney sent Mr Trump's accounting firm a subpoena demanding eight years of tax returns as part of a criminal investigation into the president and his family.\n\nMr Wolpe told Sky News the democrats would push for 'transparency on tax returns before people vote next year” but the US president would resist it “all the way”. \n\nA lawyer for Mr Trump said he would challenge the court's ruling by setting up a potential Supreme Court legal battle.\n\nImage: AP Why does persist with the Wolpe fakenews fool? His bias is insulting Breaking: Obama's chewboy has some anti Trump news. Yep, and you'll have your fingers crossed just like the last time this notingburger blew up in the faces of you leftards, right Bruce?
