Apart from dead woman walking another scandal is emerging. More corruption from Morrison’s Malevolent Muppets:

Dead woman walking:

Sorry, I missed this at the time, Stui.

I wouldn't be looking for them, there: Pies4Shaw's good-gardening hint for the day is to make sure you always keep your fertiliser separated from your mulch.

No problems and valid points, it's good to be careful about these things in the garden. There are however non gardening uses.

The adventures of Bridget McKenzie ..... she’s being pushed to jump. Will she be the fall girl for Scotty from Marketing actually doing the string pulling over the sports rorts?

The adventures of Bridget McKenzie ... why Scotty from marketing hasn't sacked "Dead Woman Walking" yet ...

"....[Scotty from Marketing] would be worried about what she might do after being sacked: possibly spilling the beans on the involvement of others in the grants process. As this newspaper reported on the weekend, the PM’s office had a hand in the allocation of grants, and I bet the tentacles of this sorry saga don’t end there..."


https://www.theaustralian.com.au/commen ... 4bab609aa2

Who'd a thunk :shock:

* Scotty (through his team) was directing the whole show
* Dead Woman Walkng could squeal
* The Nationals would implode
* The coalition would be facing more strife
* Angus "forged documents" Taylor would have to go too
* Angus "getting gov't money for his privte interests" would have to go too

Political Corruption defintion

"...Political corruption, otherwise known as government corruption, has been defined in numerous ways. Aristotle, the third-century Greek philosopher, defined it as the practice of leaders who rule with a view to their private advantage rather than the pursuit of the public interest..."

https://www.encyclopedia.com/internatio ... corruption


Yep that sure enough covers it

Pretty much. I don't subscribe to the Australian so can't read the article, but since she's a National party MP I'm not sure what Morrison can do anyway other than lean on the Nats who're already having internal leadership issues and have the Barnarnaby Beetrooter poised to defecate on things from a great height.

Oh dear, the adventures of Bridget McKenzie ( and that of Scotty from Marketing ) continues to get worse: orchestrated political corruption.

Great quote
Titus O'Reily ·
This sports rorts affair continues to astound me. Imagine if the AFL dispersed money in a similar way? With money going to less worthy areas over worthy ones? We’d have teams in Greater Western Sydney and the Gold Coast and games being played in China.

Summarising the Guardian article without reading it, with due apologies to Aquaman, "Something, something, gun club"

Gun club contacts MP who just moves into the area, invites her to visit
MP visits, sees state of dunny's,manages to not vomit
Gun Club gives MP a membership
MP visits club again (2nd and final time) to announce grant to upgrade dunnies
Various people get panties in a bunch over politicians giving money to sports clubs on a strategic basis, apparently first time it's ever happened
MP found guilty of breaching ministerial standards for approving a grant for a club that gave her a membership and that she'd visited twice, both in official capacity.
MP resigns ministerial position for next 12 months or so

Did I miss anything?
