The Australian Parliament Sports Club has been attracting a lot of unwanted attention lately – for registering as a lobbying group, accepting sponsorship from the gambling lobby, and for kicking out ex-Wallabies captain David Pocock for having a problem with all that. Daanyal Saeed is Crikey’s media reporter and he broke the story in the first place. Since then, he’s been following it up – revealing that despite the Prime Minister’s insistence he wasn’t at all involved, he had in fact spoken at one of their events and chronicling the swift de-registration from the lobbying register that came after scrutiny of the club. Today, Daany takes us through all the biggest developments and tells us why David Pocock isn’t rejoining the club – despite being welcomed back. You can read Daany’s reporting here.
