It seems that not a day goes by that there's not another cover up, lie, stuff up or worse from Scott Morrison and his muppets.

Now it's reported that that the Auditor General's reports into $100 million of sport grants prior to the 2019 Election was a shocker:

"... The audit found that in each of the three rounds of funding, Sports Australia’s recommendations were not followed or even considered.In the first round, 91 of the projects (41%) approved were not endorsed by the Sport Australia board.
In the second round, 162 (70%) of the approved projects were not recommended, and in the final round 167 (73%) of the approved projects had not been recommended by Sport Australia.The auditor found the design of the program was deficient in a number of areas. There was potentially no legal basis for the minister to approve successful projects, and “it is not evident to the ANAO what the legal authority was”, which it said was a “significant shortcoming”. …"

"... The explosive [Auditor General's] report comes just weeks after a separate audit of the government’s $220m regional jobs and investment packages program tabled on Melbourne Cup day found ministers knocked back almost 30% of recommended projects and supported 17% of those not recommended by the department. …"

Fair dinkum, after $484 million for a GBR charity, $250 million for his new plane and $250 million on taxpayer-funded advertising ahead of the 2019 Election, the question for Scott Morrison is "WHAT'S NEXT on your list?"
