Sky News host Andrew Bolt says there is “one thing” which particularly “infuriates” him in relation to the Bridget McKenzie ‘sports rorts’ scandal. Mr Bolt said he was ‘infuriated’ that all the “volunteers,” the parents, coaches and administrators who give up their time “for their clubs” all thought the “government would play by the rules”.
What “none of them knew,” Mr Bolt said, is that they had been played as “suckers”. The Morrison government has been under pressure on the issue over the last month after it was revealed then-sports minister Bridget McKenzie used the $100 million program to target marginal seats ahead of the 2019 election. “Why doesn't Bridget McKenzie resign now before she's sacked?” he said.

If Graham Richardson can get away with it, so can others.
What was the percentage of marginal seats to non marginal seats? Because they would have received a percentage ‘normally’? So an over would be more valid in a discussion? So we are back to quotas?
This is a systems error, not a human error. Too late catching it at the Attorney-General after the money has been distributed. There needs to be stricter rules about how public money is spent in the electorates and has to be both bipartisan and based on needs.
Andrew Bolt? Isn't he that irrelavent loser who was convicted of racism in 2011. Auspol
Andrew the reason she hasn’t resigned is she knows she only did what she was instructed to do by ScottyfromMarketing. I’m sure she is saying to our CrimeMinister I’m not taking the rap for this I was only following orders. The $100Mil miracle 🤥
Brilliantly put...
Whatever. She got caught. Mrs Kelly went. So should Ms McKenzie. It's taking too much oxygen from the govt.
Bolt must know what's about to happen if he's sided against the minister..Bridget is obviously gone
She's not gods gift to man...yes,it didn't take long!
She's easy,just be a MCP towards her..then we will know what her game is!
Finally I agree with you Andrew well sai
