BREAKING: Bridget McKenzie to resign as early as Friday

Bridget McKenzie is expected to resign from the frontbench by Friday afternoon, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. 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 before the May election. Mr Morrison referred the issue to his department secretary Philip Gaetjens on Friday. Mr Clennell said he understands she is being “pushed to go” and Prime Minister Scott Morrison has “had enough”. \ Image: News Corp Australia Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
