The sports rorts questions Scott Morrison doesn't want to answer

Extract from The Guardian

Full Story
Scott Morrison
After months of reporting on the sports rorts scandal it seems we’re no closer to learning the truth about what happened. Fresh evidence is raising serious questions about the involvement of the prime minister’s office in the scheme and whether changes made after the election was called were legal. But so far it’s been hard to get answers out of Scott Morrison. In this episode of Full Story Katharine Murphy joins us to talk about what the prime minister is avoiding

About Me

My photo
The Worker
I was inspired to start this when I discovered old editions of "The Worker". "The Worker" was first published in March 1890, it was the Journal of the Associated Workers of Queensland. It was a Political Newspaper for the Labour Movement. The first Editor was William "Billy" Lane who strongly supported the iconic Shearers' Strike in 1891. He planted the seed of New Unionism in Queensland with the motto “that men should organise for the good they can do and not the benefits they hope to obtain,” he also started a Socialist colony in Paraguay. Because of the right-wing bias in some sections of the Australian media, I feel compelled to counter their negative and one-sided version of events. The disgraceful conduct of the Murdoch owned Newspapers in the 2013 Federal Election towards the Labor Party shows how unrepresentative some of the Australian media has become.
