Sky News host Paul Murray says, regarding Queensland Sports Minister Mick De Brenni's claim that altering grants was "fair", "there's spin and there's spin, then there's knocking yourself out with the footing". It comes after Queensland’s Auditor-General released a report regarding the state’s grants system, which revealed Sports Minister Mick De Brenni had altered 33 grants to benefit the Labor electorates.

“Exactly what Bridget McKenzie lost her job for, this guy was doing,” Mr Murray said. When asked about his actions today, however, Mr De Brenni said, “what the federal senator did, she broke the rules, what I did, I made it fair.” “There’s spin and there’s spin, and then there’s just knocking yourself out with the footing,” Mr Murray said.
