Scott Morrison rejects criticism over 'sports rorts' email trail

Scott Morrison is under fresh scrutiny over his part in the 'sports rorts' scandal after it emerged 136 emails about the scheme were sent between his office and the minister responsible.

There were 136 emails sent between the prime minister's office and key staff of former sport minister Bridget McKenzie.Senator McKenzie also sent a list of grants she intended to approve to Mr Morrison on the day before last year's federal election was called. "The leader of the opposition is trying to throw mud while he himself sits in an absolute swamp," the prime minister said.ANAO official Brian Boyd told a Senate hearing earlier in the month there was no evidence projects with prime ministerial representations had higher success rates.

This story is fake. Nothing wrong was ever done. All grants were given to those that deserved them.

JEN + THE KIDS DID IT, NOT ME, NOR LNP, NEVER ME.

So many electoral laws broken and the AusElectoralCom willfully ignores it. No trust, only contempt!

Good. Should be a criminal offence. liarfromtheshire LNPfail

And the crucial ones were sent after the government was put into caretaker mode. Highly illegal.

chiccomarx the most corrupt Prime minister this country has ever seen

In a way, his response was an admission of curruption with his defence being that the labour leader is more corrupt?! No wonder so many people are disillusioned with the state of politics in this country.

Best news heard today!!! Will anything come of it prob not. Going to keep the pressure on. Keep highlighting the unjust policies he keeps Green lighting. peoplepower PentacostalPMScotty ReligiousNutRunningAus

Time for ScottyFromMarketting to sack the office junior. After all - who else could be at fault.

In QLD lying to a Government department is a criminal offence!

You mean liar P.M. Morrison refuses to take responsibility for his extreme misuse of taxpayers money to sure up his ego driven agenda to be PM of Australia.

But he'll deny, then they'll use their numbers to shut down discussion. Democracy in this country is DEAD

OutWithMorrison

This government has shown itself to be immoral lying incompetents - not fit to hold office

He used TAX PAYERS money to fund his regime AND thus his votes were bought, his party cheated and his win was not assigned through a miracle. This is where God and money part ways and it is very hard for the rich man.

Guess theliarfromtheshire is stepping firther and further away from the rapture.

“from his office” eh?. So to ultra-Socialist SBS that means he sent them personally?. How very, very odd.

Rubbish from the leftists that cannot make a dent on the popularity that Morrison has developed. I did not vote for him but sure he is the best man for the job. I'm glad that we don't have to suffer Labor and their idiotic policies like the ones with Kevin07 and Julia Pinochio

Is ScottyfromMarketing admitting that LiberalAus is no better than AustralianLabor when comparing his sportsrorts to something AlboMP once did?

Fat chance!

A dead set cheat

Captain should always go down with his ship - no?

Rejects criticism? He’s sucks big time. liarfromtheshire. Rejects criticism, climate change, refugee compassion, human rights, homosexuality and I could go on! How good is pentacostalism and religion and poor economic management LiberalAus?

AuspolSoCorrupt sportsrorts ScottyfromMarketing Seeing as Labor don't have the necessary gumption to block supply in the senate in a vote of no confidence, we should at the very least seek to freeze/sieze all LNP party assets while the matter of their election embezzlement is referred to the high court. So regional. Maybe it can be classed as remote too if they try hard enough dickfaber MichaelJSky

It's simply not acceptable for ScottyfromMarketing to just shrug his shoulders and say, 'Tough' every time one of his rorts is uncovered. Note to all journalists: final decisions were for the Minister to make and, in that case, it is normal for the Minister to canvass views from her political colleagues including, not surprisingly, Le Boss, aka, the PM.
