Been a poorly kep secret for a long time that Scott Morrison’s handling of a major advertising contract when at Tourism Australia was dodgy AF.
Michael West media has been picking through the mostly covered-up trail.
Long, but worthwhile read.
The crux of it though is that Liberal Party lobbying firm, Crosby Textor, got a sweet deal to do research for a advertising company that hadn’t even been awarded the contract yet.
Surprise surprise, the company, M&C Saatchi, got the contract (without a tender process) and then billed Tourism (ie the taxpayer) for the research done by the Liberal party lobby firm.
