The Senate inquiry into sports rorts has decided to call the head of the public service, Phil Gaetjens, and the former
minister Bridget McKenzie. Guardian Australia understands the decision, taken on Friday, will mean the pair are asked to appear at a 16 March hearing to answer questions about McKenzie’s handling of the $100m community sport infrastructure grant program and Gaetjens’ report that contradicted the auditor general’s conclusion it was skewed towards marginal and target seats. The development comes as Labor broadens its attack against government grant programs, arguing the urban congestion fund was also skewed in its distribution with announcement of taxpayer grants used to promote Coalition candidates. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/feb/24/sports-rorts-inquiry-set-to-grill-bridget-mckenzie-and-phil-gaetjens
