This comes after a number of Facebook posts from Labor MPs emerged showing certain electorates benefitting from the grants.
“But old mate [Anthony Albanese] wasn’t Robinson Crusoe amongst Labor frontbenchers . All of them happy to take these cheques then and now cry rort after the May election loss,” Ms Credlin said. “This is what voters hate - the hypocrisy, the gameplaying”. Image: News Corp Australia
It's everyday Aussies in those sporting clubs who were the beneficiaries. I propose we have elections every 3 months (regardless of who wins - because they all pork barrel) until every sports club in Australia has a state of the art set up. problem solved!
From the chief of staff who said u tell a lie enough people will believe it
“Gotta Love Credlin’s’” hypocrisy when it comes to telling truths!!
Oh... Albo ... Look at that photo ... full of passion and outrage. Glad that you found your voice...! Once you finish with this topic mate, start saying something that will improve Australia further. So far... ‘crickets’... Politics
The grants to Labor electorates were given on merit. Can't say the same for 73 grants given to LNP seats.
FO
It appears that the only problem with these comparisons is that the majority of sporting clubs most in need of a grant would be expected to exist in lower socio economic areas which is primarily Labor's heartland

Fair enough too. Though it’s the 99% that aren’t in any of the corrupted parties that are demanding decent government standards!
Federal ICAC now!
Absolutely, the vic labor government can’t spend enough on Geelong footy ground in the afl because it’s a marginal seat, they absolutely both do it. Laughable to say the alp don’t
The 'Ventriloquists Dummy ' in full voice, by the way when it states' Authorised by Albenese' does that mean somebody else wrote it for the poor soul.
It’s not Labor who’s most upset. Their offender resigned, remember? It’s all the genuine children’s & youth sporting clubs who lost out to phantom cricket clubs, wealthy rowing clubs, numerous gun clubs & trumped up wedding venues. Credlin is as moronic as two Pauline Hanson’s.
Is it hypocrisy, didn't you study journalism. Didn't you believe in the truth, the passion for the honest story. You that wrote this should resign. For your own integrity. Please stop being a propaganda mouth piece. You're better than this.
She couldn’t have been any more wrong and couldn’t have looked any more petty. But what do you expect from Rupert’s Robot. Scripted and read word for word.
State Labor bank rolled a $23 mil redevelopment of a basketball stadium in regional Victoria in 2018 which has poker machines & alcohol available not a good look for the youth in Dan’s nanny state.
You gotta love Peta's attempt at making a living..... Fail
It's not credible that if Labor had commited the rort that Peta would be saying the same thing. THAT'S hypocrisy.

Um... when Labor ministers are caught doing far less they resign. With the LNP it’s rort after rort and no one loses their job. That’s the different Cretin.
Well one did resign. Lnp have so many scandals, you'd be lucky to field a team if they all resigned.
Big difference Ros Kelly resigned.
Deny Delay Deflect BoycottMurdoch
All parties are as guilty as each other especially when changing leadership.
Nice try but this is a Coalition scandal.
Beat the drum, lie like a pig in sht, but then Credlin is a mouthpiece for the LNP and speaks anti-Labor but not the truth. Average for Sky News. Hypocrisy is their standard, epithets 101 term for anything. Propaganda runs like that: say a lie enough times and it becomes true
This just in: Irrelevant deflection tactics come in to play. More at 9.
This from the no conviction recorded DUI offence.
This thread isn't going well for Peta.🤣. What a piss poor example of whataboutism 🙄
Cant wait to see the election TV ads. A pony club owner being passed a suitcase full of cash. Hes on the moby thanking Scott from inside the pony barn, in which a chandelier is being installed. Next, young girls changing in the car after soccer.
Yes Peta....we wouldnt want hypocrisy, so I guess morrison & most of his MPs will have to resign.
Oh thats right....back in 1993, 27 years ago Labor had a very minor sport rort scandal. Credlin is holding on too tight.
At least their leaders dont jump in the sack with political secretaries
Please vote for me My hobbies are dogs and beer and not necessarily in that order. Ay?ay?
Accountability shouldn't be sought? Hmm
Whether it is Labor hypocrisy or not does not hide the fact that the sports Rory scandal is not acceptable. In the same way trying to hide behind all those who got funding were eligible is not acceptable. There should be consequences for any party that abuses the people’s trust.
You gotta love Peta credlin. The experts expert
Oh dear. We’ve all done it once in our lives, but we’ve also been required to fall on our swords when caught...
Yeah terrible isn't it
Go away Tony Abbots love child. If it had of been Labor you would of been wetting your pants Murdochspuppet
You gotta love the Liberal Party and Nationals rorting tax payers - don't try and pass the buck Ms Crone Cretin, Labor minister had resigned -
Like when Ros Kelly did a similar thing, stepped down immediately and eventually resigned?
Ok then, let’s see you hold em all to account then. Nonpartisan commentary, real journalist like. sportsrorts SportsRortsII FederalICAC corruption
You gotta love Peta Credlin’s hypocrisy. Full Stop.
This is what you get when you have people working in the media who are not independent & objective. Which political party it is that has done a wrong is irrelevant. What's relevant is that a wrong has been done & we the people deserve better. Stand up for what is right!
Peta who?
thats not what she said at all, she actually said it leads back to the PM office and shes as guilty as he is and stated this very clearly...
Peta who?

Australian history 'is not acknowledged by the left' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says perhaps the “left” have been too busy “blaming the fires on climate change” to find their usual “voice” to call for the nation to be “embarrassed” to celebrate Australia Day this year. \n\nMs Credlin said the 'left' have “a real problem” in acknowledging the history of the nation.\n\n“[Captain] Cook was one of the greatest ever explorers … yet instead of opening Australia to the modern world, his voyage in the left's eyes marked the beginning of our country's racist exploitation”. \n\n“And herein lies the real problem, a lack of realism about the facts of both our indigenous and non-indigenous history,” Ms Credlin said. \n\nThe Sky host also praised Alice Springs Councillor Jacinta Price for her recent calls that Australia as a whole, has far more to celebrate than be ashamed of in relation to Australia Day. \n\nMs Credlin said the “good, at least as much as the bad” must be acknowledged within “Indigenous, British and migrant” history within the nation.\n\nMs Credlin said she would be the “first to concede that European settlement wasn't all good for Aboriginal people,” but continued to state, “our British heritage has taught us much to be proud of too”. \n Fianlly a positive from the fires Don’t worry they’ll find time to whinge. It’s not like the majority of them have much to do. Oh shit. Is this what they made you say Peta? How embarrassing

Central banks buying coal mines and power plants is 'pretty absurd' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s economics editor Adam Creighton says it’s “extremely hard to forecast” the link between the environment and the economy.\n\nThe International Monetary Fund have suggested the Reserve Bank of Australia purchase Australia’s privately-owned coal mines and coal fire power plants in order to avoid an economic crisis caused by climate change.\n\nMr Creighton told Sky News host Peta Credlin the suggestion central banks should buy these assets is “pretty absurd”, and said “international bureaucracies” like the IMF “have so many staff they need to have something to write about”.\n\nThe Australian reported on Wednesday a significant fall in renewable investment over the last year will put significant pressure on the power grid.\n\n“So little thinking has gone to the actual economics and science of renewable energy, compared to the great gusto of the various targets,” Mr Creighton said.\n\nImage: Getty

PM Morrison refers Bridget McKenzie to secretary of PM&C | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has referred Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie to the secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to investigate into the 'sports rorts' scandal. \n\nThe controversy surrounding Cabinet Minister Bridget McKenzie is deepening after reports emerged she approved a $36,000 tax payer funded grant for a clay target shooting club without publicly disclosing she was a member.\n\nThe auditor-general last week revealed the then sports minister ignored the advice of Sports Australia when distributing funds for almost half of the successful projects. \n\nThe report also found marginal seats received a disproportionate amount of grants ahead of the May election. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Bridge You don't arf furry look a LOT like ER Ciao, Bridget Once again ScottyfromMarketing gets dragged kicking and screaming to do the semi-right thing.

Bushfire season 'used by activists, journalists and politicians' to push ideology | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the tragic Australian bushfire season has been “used by activists, journalists and politicians” to “push their ideological barrow” and do extensive “damage to Australia's international reputation”.\n\nMr Kenny said Greenpeace's attempt to convince people that this year’s Australian Open could be the last was “disgraceful dross”.\n\n“Much of this country and much of the world has gone nuts with climate change exaggeration, alarmism and hysteria,” he said\n\n“There is no level of human tragedy and misery that these people will not happily exploit to push their base political agenda. \n\n“Think about that carefully if you are ever tempted to donate to Greenpeace in the mistaken belief they are actually interested in protecting wildlife.”\n\nImage: Getty I agree. Activists, journalists and politicians on the right have done that. Unlike the fires which have done wonders for our reputation Does... does Kenny actually think he's above ideology or something?

ABC Journo who 'criticised' and 'fled' Australia is 'not above' taking taxpayer's money | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says although former ABC broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied has “criticized Australia and fled the country,” she is not “above taking money” from Australian taxpayers.\n\nMr Kenny said he “would never condone” the way Ms Abdel-Magied was treated online for her “provocative” views on Anzac day and Australia’s border protection policies which ultimately led her to leave the country.\n\nMs Abdel-Magied is “not above taking money from Australia,” Mr Kenny said as she has recently accepted a $20,000 arts grant from the commonwealth to “help her out” with her writing during a six-month residency in Paris.\n\nTaking to twitter, Ms Abdel-Magied thanked 'Allah' and many people on twitter, but Mr Kenny said perhaps she should have thanked “the good taxpayers of Australia” who are “stumping up again” to assist her career.\n\n“There are lot of citizens of this country who are often highly critical of so much about our past, our institutions or our policies, but it never seems to prevent them accepting our largesse,” he said.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Still banging on about Yasmin 😳 Jesus Kenny is a jerk.
