Labor has seized on new details in the $100 million sports funding affair to challenge Prime Minister Scott Morrison over emails that show last-minute changes to documents after he called the federal election.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of deception in the sports funding saga.The attack centres on a timeline revealed to the Senate committee hearing on Monday night that showed a flurry of activity with a controversial colour-coded spreadsheet that listed projects according to their electorate.
The audit office previously confirmed that Senator McKenzie's office sent a version of the colour-coded spreadsheet to Sport Australia at 8.46 am on April 11. The version sent at 12.43 pm to Sport Australia had one project removed and nine added when compared to the version sent at 8.46 am the same day.that the final decisions were made on April 4 and that Mr Morrison was not the decision-maker, given Senator McKenzie oversaw the program and had final authority on the grants."The Prime Minister last week claimed that this was all done on April 4. We know this is not true," Mr Albanese told the Labor caucus meeting on Tuesday.
That’s why McKenzie was hung out to dry Morrison and his lies ! Trump would be proud
I agree - Sco Mo must go
Oh but he will or he will try.
And yet fully supports the Morrison government in their complete attack on the freedoms and civil liberties of average Australians, by helping bring into law the Orwellian cashban bill. Australia is ruled by a two-party duopoly, and democracy is dead.
Glass houses? Albo any ideas about deception? A jailed MP you might know? 🤔

Labor positioned ‘to benefit from the economic pain’ of the coronavirus | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says “Labor are positioning themselves to benefit from the economic pain” by attempting to “spread the blame beyond the coronavirus”.\n\nMr Kenny said it was an “issues rich environment” for question time in parliament today.\n\n“Love them or loath them, the opposition seemed to work out today that the economy, and the implications for the government's budget surplus might be worth a probing question or two,” he said. \n\n“This debate, this issue, the economy and how it responds to whatever is thrown at it, and how the government handles all that, as ever, will be the story of the year.”\n\nImage: Getty The Australian economy was screwed before the virus. It is just a great excuse for the coming recession. If the GFC was not an excuse then a cold is a poor one. Same way LNP consistently benefit from the economic pain of the GFC when Labor was in. Will be HILARIOUS when they try to explain their failed projections by rightfully pointing at the same form of receeding that Labor pulled us back from. Egg on face, a decade in the making. LOL. The economy was in the toilet before the MorrisonFires let alone the coronavirus The CrimeMinister is the one positioning to save his and the work experience Treasurer's bacon

'Effectively a death sentence': Australian retiree imprisoned in Vietnam loses final appealThe family of 70-year-old Chau Van Kham has called on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to do more to assist their father, who they fear will die in a Vietnamese prison. What’s with people not understanding that other countries have laws which have punishments for breaking that are different to ours? And the Australian government will be more that happy to let him die there. They don't care for their citizens Australia cannot stand idle, as a principle we must demand for Mr Chau’s immediate release. He is a 70 year old Veteran, a political prisoner with a death sentence, it’s unacceptable. Regrets to his family.
