Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says his sources have said Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s National Press Club address on Wednesday could "be completely ruined” by the Bridget McKenzie scandal.
Mr Clennell revealed Ms McKenzie’s behaviour was exposed by the solitary email which one staffer emailed to themselves so they could print the information. Minister McKenzie is facing pressure to resign over the saga which saw the government use a $100 million sports grant programme to hand out cash to marginal seats ahead of the 2019 election. “All of us kind of think she’s gone,” Mr Clennell told Sky News host Chris Smith. “Surely … enough is enough for Scott Morrison,” he said.
aclennell Ah the prophets of doom keep ranting on. There have been so many forecasts or deadlines, we have all lost count. 'His sources” probably include one called Turnbull - how quaint.
aclennell Poor bugger crimeminister
aclennell One would hope THE PRESS would absolutely call the PM to account... LIKE THEY'RE MEANT TO
aclennell Oh, boo hoo. The Coalition is imploding with one scandal after another. It's like a bad service in Hell's Kitchen with his party.
aclennell Why is Sky news doing it’s damnedest to have Senator McKenzie flicked? How much money went to the independents electorates represented by Tony Windsor, Rob Oakshott, Andrew Wilkie and Bob Katter to maintain the Julia Gillard Labor Government?

aclennell The old Westminster System Government have tobe the most corrupt system in the world if not the universe...
aclennell No shit ScottMorrisonMP is 2 blame 4 this CLUSTER FUCK No-1 else It was run through his office Bridget McKenzie is just th scapegoat
aclennell Att: Journos at the press club address. Please find a conscience and go hard on this pathetic charlatan. The media protection racket must end.
aclennell If a Prime Minister keeps placing the thumbs up to ministers like Taylor and McKenzie... of course the shit will stick. I'm sure The Australian, SkyNews and the rest of the MSM's Liberal party sycophants will make sure the speech is recorded in history as a great event.

'No cause of concern' for coronavirus in Australia | Sky News AustraliaHealth authorities insist there is “no cause of concern” for Australians as the threat of the deadly coronavirus spreads to our shores. \n\nThere are five confirmed cases of the disease in Australia and who remain in isolation in hospital. \n\nExtra security and screening measures are in place at airports while the government works to evacuate 400 Australian citizens trapped in China. \n They are wrong, seriously wrong. The number of confirmed cases doubled overnight ffs. It has spread to every corner of China. -_- But what is wrong with an abundance of caution before the returning Chinese students get back. We knew how to stop boats. Why not stop the flights. There are two creators I follow that have very close chinese connections and only just left china with their families due to social credit system. The wife of one guy is a doctor and their dr friends in China says 10's of thousands are sick. 100% chinese cover up
