Fair point. I was thinking of their failure to ensure the contract was watertight, given his past behaviour. I bet they are regretting agreeing to a four-year deal now too.
If they lose and face a big pay out as well as a big legal bill, could this be enough to push them into the insolvency realm??? Could this be the circuit breaker that is needed for the Sports Commission to say “enough”? Can the Sports Commission force a vote of no confidence in the RA Board and turf the lot of them?? So many questions for a true journalist to explore. Where are you 4 Corners??

4 Corners probably have enough content from this train wreck of a Federal Government that's about to get turfed to last them until the Federal election in 2022.
Well I read that and thought "Jeez, Jargs is a lot more certain than I am"
So I checked the bookies - they are rarely off the mark on this stuff (until Trump)......Sportsbet - Labor $1.22....Coalition $4.25. BetEasy 1.22/3.65.... TAB 1.28/4.00.....Bet 365 1.28/3.60.
Looks like Sco Mo is toast.

I thought the last fed election was Hobson’s Choice. This time it’s even worse.

I don't think Shorten ever lead a 'preferred Prime Minister' poll over Turnbull, and he doesn't seem to lead it against Morrison.
Even if Labor wins, what's the price on him staying in power until 2022? Especially given that no PM who won an election has lead their party into the next election since Howard 2004-07.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Check the opinion polls.
Preferred PM in April: Morrison 46% Shorten 35% Uncommitted about 19%. And trending towards towards Morrison and away from Shorten for the last 3 months.
The gap of Labor over Lib/Nat was huge 6 months ago. But has ""Shorten-ed"" right down as we get closer to the election.

Both major parties have made it practically impossible to knife a sitting Prime Minister.
Labour need a vote of not just the party room but the rank and file of the entire party base.
Liberal need 2/3rds just to trigger a leadership vote and in the case of a sitting PM they need 65% or more to change the PM.
People don’t vote for the leader though, last Newspoll had it 53-47 in favour of the Labour Party. That’s a swing of 4% and probably 15-20 seats to the Labour side.
The Libs need a swing towards them just to hold government.
Fun fact for the day, Kevin Rudd actually led Tony Abbott as Preferred PM in 2013 despite the Libs romping to victory in 2013.
