Scott Morrison has farewelled Bridget McKenzie over a conflict of interest, but the PM does not explain why the government believes she had legal authority to spend any of the $100 million in the sports rorts affair, argues Michael Jacobs.

The Federal Government’s pork-barrelling of sports grants undermines two of the most important principles of our parliamentary democracy, argues Michael Jacobs.
