The Morrison Government is today awoken a very real political force that has the potential to have the entire Federal Cabinet hung drawn and quartered in the main street of Canberra.
Thousands upon thousands of mum and dad sports club administrators from around rural Australia are tonight revving their Taragos outside their local MP’s electoral offices after new revelations were unearthed surrounding the $100 million pre-election cash splash by the Federal Government was focused on marginal and target seats.
None are more furious than Deb Sully, secretary for the West Roma Netball Association.
Deb says her tight-knit community has never expected anything to be handed to them, but she now knows that there are lots of fucken silvertail polo clubs out there who do.
After months of more and more shit piles on the former Minister for Sport Bridget McKenzie in relation to her scandal-plagued federal government sports grant scheme, this 59-year-old semi-retired childcare worker has today learned of some news that makes her wild.
“We had an assessment score of 89 out of 100” says Deb, in a chilling tone usually reserved for her eldest son’s flakey father’s over-intrusive mother.
“We just needed a new surface on the courts. 10k for a bit of cement mix and a spirit level”
“But we weren’t important enough. We weren’t gonna give them a new seat, and we didn’t have any friends of Bridget’s kids playing here. We didn’t exist in this process”
Whistleblowers have today leaked spreadsheets identifying which sporting clubs around Australia missed out on grants to make way for Liberal Party vote-buying and party donor requests.
One example shows a football club in the Victorian Liberal-held marginal seat of La Trobe received a $500,000 grant despite having an assessment score of 50 out of 100, when a roller derby upgrade in the safe Nationals seat of Gippsland did not get a cent despite its 98 rating.
With a small majority in the House of Representatives, and many more Debs calling for blood, the Morrison Government has today made enemies they do not want to have.
In the case of the West Roma Netball Association, the administrators will not stop until they get a sit down with the Governer General.
“This means war” says Deb, as she wipes zinc across her cheeks like army face paint.
“And Bridget is going to be the first one in the crosshairs”
