It is shocking.
The last 9 years of LNP Govt was pretty much defined corruption & theft of public funds .. or illegality.
Robodebt, Covid Stimulus, Paladin, Sportsrorts, Watergate, Drought Envoys.
Yet, this woeful #NACC has shown that the duopoly are on a unity ticket of corruption.

It is astonishing that #scottyfrommarketing hasn't leapt on the potentially disastrous #coronavirus issue as a distraction from #sportsrorts. He could come up with a catchy new slogan like #OperationHaltCorona and rush around busily making lame statements about border patrols.

One for the Qld auditor-general. Looks like the beginning of another SportsRorts saga with funding going to LNP electorates. Also, the $200 sports vouchers are a continuation of the program from the previous government which the Crisafulli government is attempting to own. #qldpol

Politicians make dubious claims every day of the week. They are rarely pursued to a point that approaches a frenzy.
I'm not supporting McKenzie's comment, just trying to clarify what she meant by it.
