1. Starting a thread on #sportsrorts developments

Attorney General reviewing whether @senbmckenzie’s grants were even LEGAL!

My guess, Govt worried about a class action by groups scammed by the Govt in the cause of the Libs-Nats self interest .

2. Note the blatant conflict of interest in Christian Porter reviewing the legality of grants his electorate received. Morrison is becoming more Trumpian by the day.

3. @jacksongs on the case for the people.
Sports group in Morrison electorate boasted of grant before Govt announced. Just like Ros Kelly’s #sportsrorts! He says told group matter ‘for independent experts to assess’. Lying or @senbmckenzie kept him in dark

5. They won’t ever learn until the #sportsrorts minister is sacked and we get a strong #federalicac

Here’s the Ros Kelly parallel to Morrison’s soccer club’s preemptive boast that it got a grant pre-announcement - @canberratimes 10.2.94

@jacksongs

6. Oh look, a TV interviewer asks #sportsrorts questions on behalf of the people and won’t accept a Minister’s BS answers.

Is something happening here?!

7. Coincidence surely that very rich safe Liberal seats Kooyong and Warringah got #sportsrorts grants when the MOs were taken on by strong independents? Revolting. Also, clarifying for voters in safe seats.

8. I’m told Senator #sportsrorts also gave grants to Nationals safest seat Mallee when indies challenged. Anyone know deets?

It’s a poor seat, horrendous that voter loyalty to Nats meant zilch unless they feared losing it.

9. Note that Keating Labor died in a ditch arguing Ros Kelly did nothing wrong despite damning ANAO findings. Morrison is doing the same.

Imperative that the lies be exposed, the spin unspun. Crucial for Democratic accountibility.

10. Bloody hell, Morrison’s office & @senbmckenzie jointly decided on #sportsrorts grants, says @vanOnselenP

BIG.

Keating never implicated this close to Ros Kelly.

#ScottyfromMarketing shady pattern emerging - remember why he was sacked as head of Tourism Oz?

11. Gotta laugh? #ScottyfromMarketing line 1 on #sportsrorts - “No rules were broken” - as he asks the AG to check whether the @senbmckenzie grants were LEGAL.

12. Josh Frydenberg’s #sportsrorts kitty is impressive. Rich Liberal seat under pressure from indie @_Oliver_Yates and Greens @JulianBurnside.

All while needier sports groups elsewhere were told to suck eggs.

13. So the Senate will call an urgent investigative inquiry into #sportsrorts, and call the Sports Commission chief and @senbmckenzie to give evidence, yes?

14. Just realised the ANAO investigation into #sportsrorts was triggered by a letter from the then MP for Indi @Indigocathy after a dodgy grant announced by the Liberal candidate. #indiVotes elected Cathy’s successor @helenhainesindi - not fooled by #ScottyfromMarketing
