McKenzie has resigned.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/embattled-mckenzie-resigns-from-federal-cabinet-over-sports-rorts-affair-20200202-p53wxm.html

For not declaring her membership and therefore  breaching ministerial standards.

But.......

Our pathetic PM has said the investigation carried out by his office found NO pork barrelling, no misuse of powers when she splashed put $100 million of tax payers (money which was where the grants finding came from) when she gave the money to either marginal seats or to blue ribbon liberal seats like Kooyong

Totally the opposite what the Auditor General found

He cannot be remotely serious

But then again, it's no surprise when the paper trail leads back to his office

Barely increased their primary vote and its all about seats which they never managed to grow, so IMO his party led by him have done sfa over the last 4 years.

facts are not many care about the greens, and the more they open their mouths with their crap the more this will continue.

Barnaby failed in toppling McCormack as Nats leader and deputy PM.

Littleproud replaces McKenzie as deputy Nats leader.

Matt Canavan resigned from cabinet to back Joyce so Morrison has lost another minister.
