For Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie, it may be a situation where it is “much better to resign than be sacked,” according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell’s sources. Mr Clennell told Sky News on Thursday Bridget McKenzie is set to be “pushed out” of the frontbench as Prime Minister Scott Morrison has “had enough” of the saga.
The prime minister met with Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the lodge on Wednesday evening to discuss the ongoing scandal. Ms McKenzie has been under pressure to resign over her handling of a $100 million grants program which saw the government hand cash to sporting groups and clubs in marginal seats ahead of the May election. “The more it drags out, the more it’s unhelpful for Scott Morrison”, Mr Clennell told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
